My Fan Stopped Oscillating - Fixed and prevented for the future.

This fan was discarded because it would no longer oscillate. The head also swung freely back and forth.
I glued the post that holds the oscillating arm back on to the fan and gave the fan to a new owner who had posted that they were looking for a fan.. These instructions are for the new owner, since the arm should be hooked up once the fan is in place to keep it from breaking again.

Hello. I have a Rowenta VU2631U2 desk fan. The user manual is available on Rowenta. I was attempting to disassemble it to do a thorough cleaning. To do that requires removing the oscillating pin pull knob/handle (which flairs out for grip) in order to slip the housing off. Looking at other repair videos of different fans, many can be removed via a screw or a hard tug. This unit doesn't have a screw. And I have tugged as hard as I could...but to no avail. I called Rowenta. But nobody there has any ideas. And that's where I'm stuck. Just looking for ideas. Maybe Rowenta glues their knobs on. Thoughts?

Oscillators are a weak spot.
