Taking apart this dustette can be challenging.
First of all, take off the switch cover plate. its held in with 2 screws. Take out the switch and anything connected to the switch. Pull out the cord. theres a big screw were the cord enters. its a big flathead screw. Its the worst part of taking these apart. Use a small flathead and manage to get it out. Then take off the sucking head thing. its held in by 3 flathead screws. Then the motor will fall out. The motors fan must be removed by the nut thing. Then take off the front bearing screws. Now ur inside the motor. Oil the rear bearings with sewing machine oil. Remove anything that's not supposed to be in the bearing like hair. Squirt some grease in the front bearing. Don't loose the spacers on the armature. Clean armature commutator with EXTREMELY LIGHT sandpaper or a cloth. Then put it back together. I Hope this helps.
