ok

ive took the motor apart to see whats causing the motor to freeze up. Well theres the spyder and the motor shaft that goes into the fan. now the fan swings loose untill you put the spyder on and tighten the nut up and keeps the fan from free spinning,but the probem is the spyder seems to be rubbing on the base of the fan housing so when its tight enough to keep the fan from free spining the spyder wont allow the motor to move. Can someone tell me the Problem.PLZ!

Has the spyder got melted down. do you think i need to get a new one for it. Idk how these motors go together. all i know is when u tighten up that nut to hold the spyder down. the motor cant move
