I have a Gen V blower giving to me off cl off a 04 gtp demod i was tryna flip the money and resell lol but it wont turn nor spin like its seized up.. Any thing i can do to save it or do .. Thanks?
 




Can't use WD40 on the SC. The needle bearings have a grease in them that isn't standard grease.,

Personally.. put a belt on the pulley.. then grab your three foot blue point channel locks and see if it'll move. If not.. I bet you have much bigger issues inside than a bearing. Because.....how many of us have ever seen a locked up bearing on an SC?

Check every thing when i get hm...got it for free ... So idk wth he did but he was parting out his 04 gtp and i wanted the LIM said i could have the blower but told me it wouldnt turn so im tryna fix it if not... scrapyard it goes.
 
Then there's a chance he pulled it apart at some point.

The needle bearings in the case may have gotten messed up and one might be pinned in there and stopping the pack from turning. I'd start by seeing if they are just tight and seeing if you can turn it. Then I'd go to disassembly and inspection. There's so little to go wrong.

Oh ok might explain how easy it opened lol.. Well i will try and check things later.. Hopefully i can get it to spin... Has a mps on it:)
 
I'd be amazed if it was just a bearing issue. I know Jeff has worked on dozens of blowers, wonder what he thinks. Possible some shrapnel got sucked in and jammed the rotor pack in the case, maybe.
 
If you got it open w/o fighting at least one of those torx bolts, it's been open before. There is always one that fights
 


There are a couple of notches that are between the case and rotor pack. It's meant to be pushed apart with a tool. I have a sears one that has two flat pieces and when you squeeze the handle..it pushes them apart.
