Hi,

I posted before about the bearings in my vacuum. I now have pics
also. I almost bought a new vacuum, but thought I would give the
repair one more try.

To recap, the ball bearings have actually come out of my vacuum
motor shaft. I am trying to figure out where they are supposed to
go. Also trying to figure out if I need to remove some sort of "race
and bearings" assembly on the shaft and replace the race and bearinigs
as a pre-assembled unit ( and where to buy it).

The ball bearings are silver and are smaller than beebees.


I have 2 pics, below. Shaft, and motor.

The round pill box shaped thing on the left of the shaft, next to the
fan, works great, spins freely, and is not the problem.

The lost bearings, I presume, are supposed to go on the right side of
the shaft somewhere. Maybe near the loose washer.

Anyone who can help, please feel free to chime in !


Thanks

Shroud off (woven glass mat etc) any plastic etc and blast with a hot air
gun followed by "hub" puller.
If no shift try again , following the heating with shrouded off blast of
freezer spray on the shaft only then puller.
Then puller up to its limit of pull.
Then butchery
