Opened up machine as per your instructions changed brushes very simple to do. Opened bearing caps and tried to grease them. The bearings were original and werenGÇÖt worth greasing so I installed the new ones. Reassembled the machine everything works great no more bearing noise.

Disassembled vacuum to get part number of bearing. Once bearing arrived, reassembled unit. Trickiest part was remembering sequence of parts after a number of days. Works great.
