So I've removed a fan from it's housing before just by pulling directly forward on it. A little nervous pressure later and it was off and I was able to paint it white leaving the part surrounding the blades black and saving myself 15 minutes of work with painters tape.
I tried it on a fan that I've had sitting in a box for a year or so and one of the blades snapped clean off. No biggie as it was a $5 fan that's been sitting in a box.
Is there a better way to do this that won't possibly snap a blade off? A flathead screwdriver near the motor and twisting to lift it off or something?
