If you doing a direct replacement always save your old fan blades some of these are out of stock and the do break. I had the squirrel blade fan on mine cracked in three places - pretty bad actually. Took the fan blade off and Glued it with super glue and left it off for a day. That was three years ago and they are still intact and undamaged.
Mine is almost exactly except my wires go both ways. A control box in the front and the capacitor on the other side of the motor. A real pain in the rear.
Yeah I was surprised at how easy it looked once I started investigating the job. No way I was going to spend the money or the TIME to try and have someone else do it.
Are they really? I’ll double check next time I’m up there. Maybe I’ve been making the wrong assumption, not quite noticing the detail, and making things harder on myself! Typical me, thanks for the pointer!

Grounding the capacitor to avoid a shock fromit is important even after the power is dissco nected.
That save you a ton of money! Actually I am surprised the fan blades both came off so easily. They are usually really stuck in place. 😎

The screws are square head driver. Phillips doesn’t work near as well.

the obsession of playing annoying music in the background is very sad...
Having recently looked back at this one again, I agree. I’m thinking I’ll redo it at some point. :)
