Roof fan removal
Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2022 10:36 am
Just removed some original fans. They were riveted and had a couple layers of 'stuff' over them.
I found that an oscillating tool with a 180 degree plunge cutter with the appropriate teeth to cut metal made short work of it. Just slide the cutter between the body and the fan and cut away. Lots better than trying to drill the rivets out, I think the rivets still had the hard steel mandrel in some of them. That oscillating tool is like bread and butter.
Going to install some Maxx air fans.
