Anyone have any ideas on where to find a cheap tool to pull the bearing off on a Kirby? I have loked locally to no avail.
Thanks

Also, what type of sealent would be recommended for sealing the fan case on the kirby to keep dust out?

Well, youre gonna need a bearing puller. I know sometimes theyll come with lawnmowers, or in lawn mower tool kits. Kirby sells them, theyre $18. I think its definitely worth it, to replace the bearings in all your Kirbys for $18.

Heck, a vacuum shop would cost you more than that just in labor costs to replace the bearings in ONE vacuum.

Oh, and for post-D80 models, youll need a special fan locking tool, which Kirby also sells.

For any models D80 and before, you can use an ordinary ice pick for a fan locking tool.

I beleive a007kirbyman (Bill) can sell you both of these tools.
