I may try that. The times I can't get the fan out, I could drill the edge of
the cover, but can't get at the flat side.

For me, it seems that knock the back off is easier than drilling. I've got
the hammer and screw driver on hand, the drill and foil tape are in the van.

You don't have to knock the back off, the little hole and some turbine
oil has always worked for me. You don't have to use solvents, the
turbine oil is light enough to penetrate the bearing and extend the life
of the motor. The felt in the reservoir soaks oil right up and will hold
it without leaking unless the seal on the cap is damaged
and the drilled oil hole is not sealed.
