Anyone take apart a sanitaire vacuum

[kirbykid63]

Hi all I purchased a nice looking sanitaire commercial vacuum with the red dump style bag and the 16" head it looks like a eureka vacuum.How do you get the top off to get to the motor,and is it possible to change out the bearings.

hi richard

under the vacuum there are two spring like clamps holding the hood in place they are near the front wheels
sorry i do not have a photo and I think that the bearings can be changed
