I have a Kirby 519 that I just bought that I have apart, I cant get the armature out. Can someone explain how to get it out? Does the bearing have to come out also? | ||

Slide hammer
You must want to smash your fingers.
I have an idea it will probably work. Get a drill if it's a hammer drill even better. Take the fan off and the bearing plate. Put the armature in the drill and make sure you have the armature installed so it will not wobble. If you have a vice or clamp clamp down the motor housing. Slowly spin the drill and pull the drill towards you. If the bottom part of the motor housing is accessible while drilling tap the motor housing with a hammer while your spinning. This will get the armature I out. I have a nice heavy duty slide hammer. I smash the shiz out of my fingers. Les | ||

The front bearing plate is off, just the armature wont come out. The drill trick did not work. My new slide hammer is coming Tuesday. I will keep trying. | ||

Karl,
I remain convinced either or both the armature and front bearing plate may have to be replaced. The side of the armature affected is the fan end. If confronted with replacement, you will need to obtain a 114959W (12062) or 114959A (20456) armature from another Kirby 505-519, and a 116884S front bearing plate. As I said before, unlike the original 116856S plate, the 116884S plate uses the 116073 front bearing normally designed for models Classic Omega 1CB to the present Avalir II, and also its associated service parts: 100773 front bearing seal, 100873 front bearing seal retainer and 101076 retaining ring. ~Ben | ||

Mike baldo
Is where I learned about the slide hammer. He fell off the end of the earth 6 months ago. There is one last way to get the motor out. I don't really know it's very safe. If you heat up the bottom you could get it free. I'd discourage that. I used a grinder to cut off a riveted on bearing and housing on my Hoover 913. The grease caught on fire.
Im going to guess the bearing heated up and metal got in the bottom of the motor housing and welded the bearing,armature, motor housing together. If you need a motor housing,an armature or any other parts let me know I actually have atleast 3 519s. This is my blind pilot bearing puller slide hammer. I mainly used it on classic 1 and Omega models. Les

Instructions
I'm not going to try to explain.
Here is instructions on how to use it but it's the closest explanation I could find a vehicle wheel bearing. Remove the rear wheel from the vehicle Remove the brakes Place the pulling adapter on the hub Tightly secure the pulling adapter to the hub with the lock nuts Ensure the slide hammer is on the slide rod Thread the attachment point of the slide rod to the centre of the pull adapter Screw in a nut at the back of the pull adapter to secure it to the slide rod Turn the T-handle in a clockwise direction until tight Leave one hand firmly holding unto the T-handle Pressure should be applied away from the hub Place the second hand on the slide hammer Slide the hammer along the shaft in a back and forth movement Gently force should be used when sliding the hammer toward the hub When sliding the hammer away from the hub, more force should be used Continue this back and forth movement until the hub is released Once the hub is released, the bearing can be taken out Sometimes the vibrations and the friction from the back and forth movement along the shaft may be difficult to handle. For this, simply tie a thick cloth around the slide hammer, leaving enough length for you to hold on to. Tug the cloth back and forth instead of physically holding on to the slide hammer.

I know how to use a slide hammer, I work on trucks all the time. There is nothing to hook the slide hammer on the vacuum, I need a left hand tread nut. | ||
