I know how to use a slide hammer, I work on trucks all the time. There is nothing to hook the slide hammer on the vacuum, I need a left hand tread nut.
The front bearing plate is off, just the armature wont come out. The drill trick did not work. My new slide hammer is coming Tuesday. I will keep trying.
I have a Kirby 519 that I just bought that I have apart, I cant get the armature out. Can someone explain how to get it out? Does the bearing have to come out also?
