Kirby Model 510

Hey Guys!

Can any of the other Kirby experts tell me if a model 510 is capable of using the
10-metal blade fan? Originally, this model came with the 6-blade metal fan.

And, how difficult is it to replace the bearings on this particular model?

Well, you can it just depends on which kind of metal fan your using. The 515 style ten blade fans are the only kind of ten blade fan that can fit on a 510.

Replacing the beatleings is easy, after you remove the fan you unscrew four screws and pull the round plate off and you can remove the armature and do whatever you need to do
