Good job Ben!! The videos will definitely help - and if they do not help Nali look at some of my other videos as they will show how to take the S7 apart, the videos I have are not the specifically the S7 model but generally they are all the same. Some day I will make a video taking apart and re-assembling every Kirby model there is...
P.S., heat does not hurt a darn thing especially since you are going to install new bearings. And you might need heat to get some things apart. |

P.S., the only place you really need a puller is for the rear bearing. And honestly, if you don't have a tool that fits the small bearing to remove it, cut it off as you are installing a new bearing anyways so who cares if you destroy the rear bearing - just be careful not to damage the armature shaft.

The hole on the armature is the one I was telling you about before because I assumed you were going to unscrew it by hand. |

My B&D seems to be from 1958. I also have a Lesto / Bosch jigsaw from the same period, which is brand new and unused because the first owner has broken the mechanism to fix the blade as soon as he got it out of the box :)

Well built yes. All metal inside, and roller bearings. No cheap plastic. |
