Thank you! You’re the only video that showed prying (that it would not totally bust apart )the back of the blower to release that tab…. Once that was apart, it made it much easier to release!
Thanks. I thought i broke mine all i needed to do was put back the bushing. The bushing came off when i took the fan off didnt see it until i watched this video.
Just an FYI, for all those experiencing this - Ryobi has an unannounced (for this model anyway) recall on these units, should the fan blade fail. It WILL take a MONTH to get it replaced, but they will do it. It was offered to me - just yesterday, however by the time they responded to my inquiry about it (going on 3 weeks), I had already repaired my Ryobi P2108 blower. BTW - While I had it apart, I also replaced the bushing (Part No. 612854001) behind the broken fan blade (Part No. 529437004), Both on the parts list that is provided with the manual, which can be downloaded from the internet. The bushing was loose and worn, which probably was at least partially responsible for the failure of the fan blade..
Spoiler alert-- instead of total disassembly, to remove fan just take a blunt punch and wack it CCW with a hammer near a blade and it loosens right up and will screw off. To affix the new fan, screw it on but leave it a turn loose; then energize the blower and the new fan will lock-on..
Thanks very much. Just had a blade break off and make the fan out of balance. Your video is the only one with the tip to remove the tube: ruclips.net/video/xDJK33brq4k/видео.html
Thanks for this vid I found that pushing down on the tube allows it to pop out without prying

Glad it helped

Good information. Thanks , ordered the fan and bushing also. The worn bushing was definitely causing the fans blades to rub the housing.
Helped me fix mine. Thankyou.

Sounds great, were you able to change the bushing as well? I feel that was the root cause of failure in my case

Not even. Mine is different and way more complex.
mine was too. Every single screw had to be removed.
@@davidhumdiggity1766 that is good to know. After 20 minutes mine is still not off, watching videos to figure it out. thanks
