1. Replace them when they are almost completely gone.. Or replace them when you think they are too short, they are cheap in cost to replace.
2. Run until it is clean and then turn on machine, and look at the spark, if still arching, then use the stone again - and make sure to vacuum or blow out the dust from the stone. P.S., it only takes seconds not minutes... 3. Buy the bearing from a Kirby dealer, then all the rest of your questions are not applicable. Regarding other parts, if other parts are damaged then replace - or if you want just replace all the parts as the remaining parts you mention are inexpensive. 4.

Apply the stone for a few seconds until the sparking between the commutator and the carbon brush reduces to the normal light blue spark. - it does not take long regarding time - seconds for most and some a little longer - in a well lite area, apply stone for 3-4 seconds, vac up the dust, and then turn vac back "on" to look at the spark. Or if you are doing this in a dark place with not much light, then you can see as you grind how the spark is changing.
