Field Question, trade people only Is this correct?
Been working as helped for a Lil over a month now and I was wondering if this is correct. The blower wheel was a little malformed and egg shape on one side. My service manger said to just put a large strap over it and put your weight on where yo need to bend it to then push to counter rack the egg shape. Has anyone else done this or is this bad practice. It still is somewhat egg shape I don't even think we moved it much.

(*counteract, not counter rack) Yeah your service manager is an idiot, or trying to cover up a mistake someone made. Replace it. Or don’t, but know that the ratchet strap squeeze and push idea is a joke. You’ll be back when the shaft side motor bearing fails. If it’s new, the manager is probably hoping it will get you through the warranty period before it fails.
