How do I take a fan apart?

[Maniac9127]

I've got this really dusty fan here that I need to clean, but it's too hard to clean it while it's together. How do I take it apart? I've got a Panaflo here that I think has the nut under the sticker, but I don't want to have to rip it apart like that, I've also got a sunon that I can't find any place to unscrew or anything.

Thanks.

um.. i'm not sure about the panaflo, I think their sleeve bearing fans(not sure if that changes anything). But as for the sunon, just pull off the sticker, pry off the little "o" shaped piece of metal with a screwdriver or something, and the fan blades should be able to come out.

Dang, I was hoping there was some other way of taking it apart without distroying the sticker . Uh, is there any way I can get a new sticker?

just gently peel it off, u can just stick it back on.. if not, use something else to seal up the hole. I usually use electrical tape (doesn't absorb all the grease).
