Kenny, That was the same mistake I made my first time, as there is that hole where the belt pulley is. You should find that the pulley and fan come off together. You'll get the hang of it! ~~K~~ |

I got the fan off. I inserted a screwdriver into the cooling fan and turned the fan it came right off. I realized that in order to replace the front bearing I would have to take the entire motor apart. I sprayed some spray lubrication in front of the bearing. I sealed the fan chamber with sealant and put the Kirby back together. It runs a lot quieter with no loud bearing noise as it did before. I can still hear the noise when I shut it off. Thanks for the help. I made the mistake of trying to take the fan off like a plastic fan. |
