I'd like to disassemble and degrease the fan and motor and re-assemble.

You need Oilite type oil.

I never heard of Oilite, so i googled it. It's an oil-filled bushing. I
still have no idea what "Oilite type oil" is.

Any suggestions as to dis-assembly or cleaning the bushing?


You need a solvent to clean the bearings. There is a special oil for porous
bronze bearings (Oilite type oil).

Disassembly - you are on your own!





I've had good luck with Marvel Mystery Oil, you can probably get by with
any light machine oil though, it's just a fan, nobody will die if the
bushings seize again.
