Claude Steinberg for Model Number GLER341AS2 Is it safe to use automotive anti-seize lubricant on the end of the shaft that the blower wheel screws to? Or is there another lubricant you recommend? Like di-electric grease for spark plugs? Blower wheel turns fine but was fused to the shaft. We tried two people with all their strength holding the shaft and turning against it, putting cloth inside the arc joint pliers, using a breaker bar with the 7/8 socket--all that happens is the plastic nut on the outside of the rounded shaft gets rounded and won't turn or separate from the dead motor. Just ordered new blower wheel assembly for an additional $127. With new belt, foam seal and bearing and square end screw drivers for screws designed to frustrate DIYers, it's getting to be the cost of a new dryer at this point. I don't want to replace a perfectly good part again owing to shoddy manufacturing and planned obsolescence.
