Les-

I would sure appreciate any help. it needs new ball bearings. is this possible?

 

[lesinutah]

Hey

Let me look into it. The bearings are they for wheels, motor.

....

the motor

 

[lesinutah]

Motor

The motor bearings shouldn't need replaced. Once you access them if bearing is open spray the ball bearings. I usually use car electronic cleaner. It doesn't ruin anything and it cleans off places I wouldn't want wet.
You then oil and try to spin the bearings. You do it 3 or 4 times bearings will be good as new. I would lastly grease the bearings pack it in so grease stays in bearings.

It's kind of scary looking back at my earlier post in this thread. Nothing has changed except I now have twice as many vacuums as I did then. My vacuholism has been totally out of control the past year or two. I'm at the point now where I've had to put myself under a complete moratorium for any new vacuum purchases. I just can't trust myself anymore. I've done reasonably well the past two or three months, satisfying myself playing with the toys I've got.
