Hi all, I'm new to the forums so pardon any newbie mistakes I make.
I recently purchased a Kirby 518 and the bearings sound like they need some new grease. I'm in the process of removing the front plate over the fan but it won't budge. I've removed every screw except the one holding on the nozzle lock, as I believe this is just attached to the front plate. Anyone with experience tearing these 50's-60's Kirbys down have any thoughts? Is it just a seal I need to break or is there another screw hidden somewhere on this beast?
Many thanks for your help!
