This has been kind of a long process, I purchased a new motor motor and conversion kit several years ago and the 16" impeller a couple years ago and just now getting around to building the blower. Last night I started to make the C-Face conversion to the motor but seem to be having some interference issues. Wondering if anyone else has made this conversion?
As per the instructions, I removed the rotor and I am supposed to insert the "lock Plate" behind the bearing and fasten it to the C-Face with 2 screws through the 2 small screw holes on the C-face below. My problem is that I have been unable to insert the backing plate between the bearing and the fan. I'm concerned that I could break the plastic fan if i force it between the two. Nowhere does it say anything about pulling the bearing to make room between the two in the instructions. Or am I JUST MISSING SOMETHING?

Any ideas?
