Yesterday, I took apart my Classic III to service the front bearing. I took the armature out and noticed that there is a clip holding the front bearing in. The clip looks like it can be pried off with needle nose priers and the bearing will pop out. I’m correct on this? Can the front bearing be removed without a bearing puller? I already have a new bearing that I bought some time ago.
After I realized I couldn’t get the bearing out easily. I got frustrated and put the whole vacuum back together. My Kirby Classic III, Omega and Tradition all need new front bearings and possibly rear bearings. My Classic III also has a burnt safety switch. After I replaced it with one from a spare Omega, I noticed that there is quite a little of sparking when using the vacuum on hi. Could a bad motor/armature cause a safety switch to burn out? Thanks, Kenny | ||

Could you post some close-up pictures of the motor and bearings? That would help very much! | ||
