I took apart a broken Ryobi leaf blower (RY40402) to see if it would be cheaper to fix it rather than buy a new one. Easier to disassemble than I was expecting. At least until I got to the actual problem, the burned out motor. The motor was fused to the housing assembly, requiring the replacement of the housing assembly, motor, and blower fan. In the end it would cost the same to replace the leaf blower with a newer, more powerful version as to repair the broken one.
