Can anyone give me a step-by-step tutorial for replacing front and back bearings in a 1CR Kirby? I know how to get the housing off and remove the fan. What happens next? |

If you've never replaced vacuum cleaner bearings, it's not a task for the faint-of-heart. I just had new bearings put in my Kirby Legend II. Rather than do it myself, I took it to Boulevard Vacuum where the repair technician had the new bearings installed in a jiffy -- and with no bashed knuckles, torn fingernails, gouged palms or pinched skin between my fingers! |
