THANK: But I need the info on how to fix them I have a fan that has a metal cage and metal fan blades. It's NOT the rubber ones at all I just don't care for the rubber ones. But I have to find out how to fix them. thanks reggiedog

I came across your post and wonder how you made out? It’s 7 years later and I have the same question, and found if you undo the set screw holding the fan to the shaft then unscrew they cage you will expose part of the shaft and see the fan is threaded onto the shaft. Unscrew it and off it comes. Then manipulate it out of the cage to shine it up. Pay attention to the washers under the fan blade.
Polish up the cage with steel wool, repaint the body and put it all back together. I have one cage with a clean brass nameplate and one that is blackened that I’m afraid to use Brasso on.
