Houston, we have a problem. So I thought maybe they had redesigned the bearing and thats why it looked different. Not so. I closed it up and it didn't spin. Turns out that the bearing I got, was just slightly thicker than the orignal one. So, I cleaned up the orignal one and packed it with grease.

That wasn't too bad, all lubed up and ready to close it up

Clean, dry, now where did all these bits go?

Look, I finally found a use for this thing!

all torn apart, ready to clean up

the new bearing ordered...hmmm, its different

another shot of the old grease and the rusted bearing

here is the gearset with the bottom removed

topside removed, this is the turbine

here is the little door that controls the brush speed, or the amount of air drawn thru the turbine

Finally got to this Felling a little better today, bored, so here is the turbine

Thanks, Fred. I'll take some pics for everyone as I go. I'll just wing it, its pretty much trash anyway, so I can't make it any worse. The parts showed up today but I don't even have the energy to open the box. I still have the mega crappy cold, I finally went to the doctor today and am very...

Hi all, looking for some help. My partner brought me his parents, my outlaws, Hoover steam cleaner, model# F6023-900, because it was not working right. So, took it apart, found the cover/hood was cracked causing a suction problem. Also found the brushes were not going around at all. I took the...

Be Gentle! I have repaired three of these just recently. All suffered the same problem. The clear part of the nozzle on the front right and left corners seems to be a stress point and breaks very easily. Watch running into furniture and walls. My best advise is DONT LIFT IT FROM THE FLOOR! The...

Great job. Funny, I just finished putting back together a Hoover Elite. This one had a shattered fan. Seems to be working well now, but, wow I fogot how loud these machines are. It also had that same clump of hair on the motor air intake, they all seem to get it.

I'm working on a Hoover 6.7amp Elite U4511-900 for a customer. It was not happy so I took it apart and the fan is shattered, not broken, not cracked, but cracked up in a bunch of pieces barely holding togetehr. Ordered a new one, so all will be well, but I am curious - how much force, or, what...

Eureka Boss Smart Vac If I had to. I was actually just there yesterday and checked them all out. It has a bag, and, the primary air passage from the nozzle to the bag is quite big in diameter. The switch to swich over to tools is on the top facing surface, and shunts the suction over to the...

I have a couple of these on order, one for a customer, and one for me! I'll let you know what its like when I get it. Right now, they are supposed to ship on Jan 15th, they have been on backorder since the second week of November. Hopefully worth the wait!

Dave, I think you are thinking of the Air-Tec BK2000. Charlie W is a distributor for them. They use the air-way like bag and own the castings for the original airway solid aluminum tools. Andy http://www.air-tec.com/Products-bk2000.shtml

Don't forget Even the dyson can loose suction, this one did! The owners manual actually says to "avoid fine dust" Only bags for me.
