Hi. I have an old mower. The bearing/motor/pulley (or whatever exactly
it has in there) are somewhat stiff... but I can't dismantle it!

The part where I'm stuck is the bearing of the fan/rotor assembly, which
holds various things together. It seems to be held together by friction,
with a steel bush inside a plastic one, but I don't know if that's the
part which needs to be released, or some other.

It would be absurd if there were no easy way of removing the fan,
because if you can't the whole motor assembly is stuck and can't be
accessed.

Any ideas?

It turns out the fan ("impeller") is held on a splined plastic shaft by
friction, and judiciously- applied brute force removed it nicely.
