How to rebuild Hoover elite motor.

[kirbyman65]

Hi!
I’ve been working on this Hoover elite and I can’t figure out how to rebuild the motor. I managed to get the fan off but I can’t find a point of entry. Any advice? Also, I believe these motors use sleeve bearings. What should I oil them with? Would 3 in 1 oil work?
Thanks

Yay! Just got is open! Turns out these use ball bearings. How should I grease the front bearing?
