Default Fantastic Fan

While it truly is Fantastic, It is a HUGE PITA to clean!! Has anyone figure out how to remove the blades without disassembling the whole bloody thing??

I also posted this on the Cleaning Thread.

Nope. I just unscrew the 88 screws to remove the screen, and then wipe the blades by hand one by one with a wet towel or wipe, trying as best I can to get the top side. It is indeed an area of improvement, unless I'm missing something.

Plus the 8 screws in the screen, I also take out the 5 of the bezel. Allows a tad easier access to the outside fan skirt.
Sure wish the fan came off.

Open the hatch up and use a yard blower inside to blow it out. Kind of like Bill Murray in Caddyshack.

I do a blower to get the leafs and bugs out of the vents, but the fan blades don't come clean.
