I have a 97 xjr x300 vdp. So I got a fan and motor (no shroud) from ebay for a 98, but the diameter is larger than the 95-97. the motor mounts align to the shroud mounting base, but fan blade wont fit in shroud. I was thinking of taking off the old small fan blade from the bad fan motor, and putting that on my “new” fan motor. I tried to remove blade from shaft, (after removing shaft securing clip) but can’t get it loose. Tried soaking in penetrant, pushing, pulling, tapping hard, but it won’t budge. Any suggestions?

vdp 97 fan shroud, "new" fan from ebay for 98 on lower right. golts and wiring are same, but diameter is bigger by 4" so won't sit in shroud.

98 and up fan and motor

95-97 fan and motor. cant get fan blade off this motor, after removing retaining clip
