I just lay it on its side on a towel or blanket and then tip it right over its not going to take long to oil the spinner bearing and don't for get the pump you will be surprised how much quieter it will be.

Oh cool, thank you so much

I’ll do it a bit later today I’ll take some pictures and I’ll let you know

 

[adam-aussie-vac]

I flipped it over and was

Easily able to get to the pump bearing although I had a bit of an issue getting to the main spin bearing as it is underneath a dome/cup shaped pulley So what should I do in regard to that?

 

[ozzie908]

@adam aussievac

You could if you felt brave enough remove the spin pulley to allow you to get to the bearing, Or spray it with aerosol oil which may help but won't be as long lasting. If you are going to remove the dome pulley put the machine on its side so as to prevent oil spillage from the gearbox when you have it removed you can up end it to oil it.

Thank you Austin,

But which side should I have Facing up,knobs up or back up?

 

[ozzie908]

@adam aussievac

Neither that's the front with knobs and the back with hoses

I tend to put them spinner side upwards as its lighter to lift.

[adam-aussie-vac]

Austin,

Do you know how to remove the pulley?

 

[adam-aussie-vac]

I’m still waiting for a response

So I don’t mess anything up

@adam aussievac

Hi Adam there is a pin through the pulley that you have to remove it may take a bit of persuasion to get it off but they are pretty solid so a bang or 2 with a hammer often does it.

If you can send me a pic I can be more specific.

Good news

I found out how to oil the bearing without taking the pulley off as there are four slots in the pulley
So I just squirted tomorrow and they rotated around quite a bit and it appears to be a little bit quieter I’ll have to test that with the YouTube video tomorrow

@adam aussievac

Well done that will make life easier for you !!

Austin

PS Do let us know if it worked ?

 

[adam-aussie-vac]

It’s much quieter

Although I do think the bearing might have to be replaced but I am honestly not sure how to do that

 

[ozzie908]

@adam aussievac

You might want to leave that as long as you can because trust me its not an easy fix, It can be done but you need the right bearings and a new seal and a lot of hard work, you have to remove the wash deck as the spin can only comes out the top. I and a few other have done it and its a long hard slog. Getting the new parts will be a beast of a job too.

 

[adam-aussie-vac]

So essentially

Should I wait until the bearing actually fails?
