Keeper for the blower wheel

[MMorgan]

Can anyone tell me if there is a keeper/ cap/ clamp ext to hold the cage on a blower motor? Mine slipped right off and had been glued together previously. I found a usable wheel with same end. What holds it on? Thanks

I think it's a metal clamp like a flat band hose clamp (not a worm clamp) THey use those on rubber hoses and should be available at auto parts stores and hardware and fastener stores.

These plastic ones don’t have the screw set, but I wonder if a small screw type hose clamp would work. The one in the pic looks like a basic clamp if I can find the correct size. Thanks..

It would work but it might cause a little balance issue.
