Was it really that big of a deal to fly out? A dusty fan sounds like a simple thing that could've been found with a basic look. Just seems like a lot of effort for a small fix.

Remember that factory retrofit where a simple coupling took four months to arrive. A pulley stretching to half a year really makes me wonder. Was it a custom cast piece that kept failing inspection, or some overseas supplier ghosting the order? I've waited for backed-up inventory before, but that timeline feels like a story. What part of the process got stuck for so long? Just curious about the details here.
