I have a TENV fractional HP (1/6 HP, 3.2 FLA at 115VAC) Leeson motor on a septic aerator. The bearings froze and are shot after just 2 years. The armature has a plastic internal fan that makes removal of the armature and replacement of the end bearing difficult. There is no external capacitor. The fan can probably be removed with a little heat, but I am worried about getting it reattached well. I would use Loctite if I get to that point.
Question: Is the fan really necessary?
