Hello All,
I believe you will have to tap/pound the roll pin out of one of the ends and pull on the other end and it should then come apart. I can not say I remember exactly as it has been years since I did it. There are a few new ones on eBay just look up Eureka CWP 244 and it should bring up eBay Item No. 222748358900. Good luck. Thank you for looking, Pete |

The brush roll looks nice so I would say there is no need to downright replace it.
In general, this is how I service any brush roll. 1. Take end caps off brush roll. 2. Remove bearings from brush roll. (now you have some options) 3a. Few bearings are "unique." Chances are that the bearings are some standard "size." Buy replacement bearings for just a couple bucks from an industrial bearing supplier. 3b. Lubricate the existing bearings. Rolling element (i.e. ball) bearings should be disassembled enough to expose the rolling elements (i.e. remove seals and/or seals). Using degreaser or brake parts cleaner, clean the disassembled bearing to remove old, contaminated grease. Squirt new, high temperature, synthetic grease in between the rolling elements with a fine syringe and re-install seals/shields. Sleeve bearings require non-detergent oil. Simply clean off the bearing with a cloth and soak some 3-in-1 Oil for Electric Motors (Blue Label) into the bearings. Long story short: Rolling element bearings get high-temp grease, sleeve bearings get oil. DO NOT put oil in a rolling element bearing nor grease in a sleeve bearing! This will ruin the bearing. 4. Re-assemble everything. Do this and I promise you any brush roll will spin like new. Note of caution: Do not get "overly enthusiastic" with any kind of lubricant if you choose this route, lest you get lubricant on your carpet! |
