Blade problem I have a nice hunter ceiling fan, a 56" I think. Four blades with three screw holes each. The rubber bushings for each hole have disintegrated. Where might I find new bushings? Thank You
The Hunter web site should have them. If not I have found simular ones at Radio Shack and also have ordered them from parts suppliers like Mouser, Digi-key, Allied electronics Mat electronics. All of which can be found and ordered from online.

I don't think you will get just one blade but if you visit lowes, sutherlands, or home Depot you will find a kit to replace all the blades which would be better since all the blades will be straight and you won't get a wobble.call hunter and see if they will send you one or sell you one and or if you have a 4 or six blade fan remove the opposite blade on the fan for free.it won't be as efficient but it will do the trick.
On most fans, each blade is held on with 3 screws. Sometimes a rubber grommet is included in the mounting hole. Remove the three screws on each blade, flip the blade over, and reattach by replacing the three screws. Sparky 007
I found my own answer by calling Hunter Fan Technical support. They informed me (even though its not in the manual) I have Hunter Blades called "Easy Lock". I had to remove the Hunter arm and blade away from the ceiling body fan in order to figure how to remove the blade. Once I removed the arm which is attached to the blade; I laid it the blade portion on my lap and then the arm away from my body. Then I picked up the small clip unlocking mechanism toward me and then slide the clip unlocking mechanism toward the left of my body. Then the blade came right out. There are no screws to attach the blade. You just reverse the procedure for to lock the blades back into place.
Not sure if this will help but I replaced a set of blades by lining up a used set and drilled new holes with an electric drill. They are still working after three years.
Can you hear the motor run even though the blades are not turning?
If so, the manifold/flywheel may be bad and perhaps have broken away from the motor shaft.
look as far up as you ca... it may be one of those fans that the whole thing is attached to each other... my dad had to take the whole thing down one time in order to unscrew them
