    Vacuum pump tool to pull stuck rotary vane

    Dear Experts

    Is there any specific tool to pull a vacuum pump stuck rotary vane (fan)

    I normally use a couple of screwdrivers or small pry bars. Try to get the tips as close to the shaft as possible. But sometimes the fan breaks anyway.

    First of all you have to take the circlip off
    Make no mistake between my personality and my attitude.
    My personality is who I am. My attitude depends on who you are.
