Supco FBP100 Fan Blade And Blower Wheel Puller

Our 21 year old basement AC system ceased blowing cold. Called the same dealer who installed the system for service and learned the issue was a burned out Compressor Fan Motor. Of course he didn’t have the correct replacement on the truck. The tech emailed an estimate the next morning for $818.00 to remove and replace the old motor.I was able to take a photo of the Model number and learned I can get a replacement for about $200 on Amazon.Removing the motor was easy. Now the problem was getting the old fan blade off the shaft without destroying it.Several YouTube videos, a good dousing with WD40, letting it set overnight, along with an Amazon 7:00 am overnight delivery and I’m happy to say the Supco FBP100 had the blade off before my coffee got cold. Great tool when directions are followed with care.

Just remove the rust from motor shaft first, pop this bad boy on and watch the fan motor fall off, not busted a knuckle cince, did get laughed at from coworkers bc it's aluminum and not steel but it works fine so far, especially for the price

The puller worked perfectly once I figured out the correct way to use it. The instructions were okay but I recommend watching a few YouTube videos. The ones I watched actually used this exact brand and provided some very helpful tips to make the fan blade removal straight forward and relatively easy. I don't know that I will ever have a need for this tool again but it was well worth the investment versus using some of the other methods I saw on the internet that I felt might cause one to risk life and limb.

The Supco fan blade / blower motor puller is exactly as designed and sold. It is Very reliable and Sturdy. I’ve been in the HVAC filed for some time now and have used many blower motor/fan pullers and for the price and value you can’t go wrong. Why pay more for something that works just as good as the high end products. Don’t waste your money as this fan blade/motor pulley works extremely well.

Worked great with adjustment.I am a DIYer. The FBP100 bolt was too long to allow the collar to reach the blower fan and be able to screw on. So, I went to HD and bought a 5/8"-11 x 5 inch zinc plated Hex bolt for $2.89. That bolt worked perfectly in the FBP100 and allowed the collar to reach the blower fan. Once I moved it several inches, I replaced the HD bolt with the FBP100 bolt and pulled it off the shaft the rest of the way. I then mounted the new motor. Worked perfectly.

It might have been inadvisable for an amateur like me to try to replace an AC condenser fan motor, but I had nothing to lose: if this didn't work, it was the compressor going bad, which I had no hope of replacing myself, and anyway it's nearly time for a new system.The wiring and mounting of said motor posed no problem; it's a pretty simple system, really. There's always an unanticipated problem, though, and (as you'll know if you've tried this before), it was impossible to get the fan blade off the old motor's shaft. I soaked it in PBlaster, rapped it with a hammer, and nothing.YouTube and Google are lifesavers these days, and it appeared a fan hub puller tool would be the way to go. Saw this, ordered it, took my time to set it up and position it properly on the old motor fan mount and shaft and...the fan blade slid off like butter, no worries and no drama.The new motor is new installed with the old fan blade, just waiting for the hot weather.

I bought this brand because they are supposed to be high quality but the inner shell is completely off level causing my puller shaft to be waaaay off center. How am I supposed to use this right. Posted pics. What a joke.The most annoying part about it is that you can see that it’s off balance because they welded it that way but instead of fixing it or junking it they sent it to their customer (me and others based off the other reviews) anyways intentionally sending junk to their paying customers.

Love when I get the chance to use this thing because it makes fan motor changeouts super easy. Feels super durable so this is probably the only one I’ll need to buy.
