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 another look.

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 bearings
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 ! I can take
additional photos, if it would help.

Thanks
