Removing Oyama TO fan
geezrmike	#1 Posted on 03/11/2020 8:39 AM
Newbie Posts: 2 Joined: February 23, 2020	Curious problem: I'm disassembling an Oyama TO to explore deactivating the thermostat and stop cycling This is a mechanical setup with two dials, no bulbs. It looks. like I need to remove the fan to get at the thermostat, wherever it is, but I can't seem to move the nut that holds the fan in place. Any suggestions? I think it's 8 mm but won't budge. Any advice welcomed, KKTO build is moving slowly, Geezrmike geezrmike attached the following image:

Reason being to not unscrew itself due to motor rotation... Wondering why not simply reversing motor rotation instead... is simpler to do, imo, instead performing a custom thread of the motor shaft...
