So I’m in the process of placing new carbon brushes on my Kirbys Classic III and Heritage II. I pulled out the old carbon brushes from my Classic III and I don’t know what do you think? Should I put the new ones on yet or leave the old ones back in?

I don’t worry about carbon brushes until the motor starts acting up. I haven’t had a vacuum motor ever quit on me, but I did have a grinder and a dremel tool each wear through a full set of carbon brushes. After brush replacement, both began working again, unaffected.
Brushes last a LONG time, thankfully! |
