I have looked all over this thing, and can't quit figure what "fasteners" you are referring to... on the sides of the cylindrical motor housing are two round things, that could be the heads of a bolt or something? but they are totally flat(ie neither torx, Phillips or regular screwdriver-nothing) they are also round, so no wrench will grab them. I tried a vise grip a couple times...but no good. Plus these are in the side, I am imagining that whatever holds this together goes in either end...ie I should see it in the top or bottom...(the end where the bolts that attach the fan to the plastic box stick out) I appreciate you prompt response...I'm done for the day, but will approach again tomorrow evening... thanks -Kevin -----Original Message----- From: BOB2TYPE3S@aol.com [mailto:BOB2TYPE3S@aol.com] Well, the heads don't really look like screw heads, they look more like the end of a torx bit (similarly shaped). >I took the spring clips, that hold the brushes, off.

Yeah, they should just slide right out. Sounds like your motor was really submerged in water for a while. Mine was in a dusty location, and it was actually fairly clean. I was surprised at how easy it came apart.
