Need help with Motor Shaft - It need to be one size smaller

Hi

I have an electric motor from my HUD - I need to fit a new Fan but have a smaller hole. I need to make one size smaller.

Can anyone in Manchester help me? Or maybe there is DIY way?4286244-nMB1p.jpg

    Surely enlarging the hole is easier than reducing the shaft?

    I like motors etc, but what's a HUD?

    This is HUKD not HUD.
    I think your on the wrong website.

    Drill out the fan impellor or if its metal and very close put the motor in the freezer for a few hours, heat up the fan impellor and either press it on if you have a big enough vice or grease the motor shaft and tap the impellor on

    The OP doesn’t mention how much smaller the fan hole is. Get a micrometer and measure both and then decide if an interference fit would work, else as suggested it will be easier to enlarge the hole in the fan.
