For some time the main bearing in my Dyson has been noisy, have had it apart for ages and finally gotten around to tackling removing the bearing. Certainly not the easiest task! Finally the old bearing is out and I thought I would share some pics.

If I had all that glop on me, I'd fail too.
What the full purple one? I'd quite like the silver one But this was a bargain.
This one is a standard CR01, but I found a Memory key panel on ebay and fitted that. The switches that are on the memory are on the standard console board, just hidden. =)

So thats what the inside parts of the dyson look like! I have a CR01 machine, but it is our second and has been reconstructed by ourselves. They are very noisy machines and I have never liked them. Can't wait to get a better branded machine, it doesn't take a long number of years or months for the parts to be replaced on these machines!!
Certainly a much nosier machine in contra-rotation mode, and a unique sound. I think they are hideous to look at, although look a bit more refined in pure white, and the silver versions.
I do like the approach that they could do something totally different to what had been done before. Although it may have been done on the sloping front keymatic, just not sure if the pulsator turned opposite to the drum or the drum stayed stationary?

Keymatic
Hi Andy , yes the Keymatic pulsator turned the opposite way to the drum, quite a drama splash action when both get going , hence only a 4 minute wash from correct temperature when on cottons, ie pulsator & drum both turning!!!

Wow beefed up bearing for sure, can you take some pics of the gearbox drive unit, a;ways perplexed me as to how the drum system would work...you gonna keep this one??

I always wondered about the wash action on the sloping fronts, I have seen your videos online and I bet it weighs a tonne! Is their any vids without a load to see?
Yes the bearin had to the biggest I have seen in a domestic washer, 90x50x36mm. The replacement I have sourced is 34mm deep, so will find a 1 or 2 mm washer with a 50mm bore to make sure it doesn't inhibit the contra action. Not so happy with the bearing seal that I have sourced, it will be a gamble I guess. It is 1mm less in bore but does fit nicely on the seal collar. Just the front lip is not as proud as the original, although the replacement is double lipped like the original. I will keep it my small collection. It has been a challenge that's for sure =)
Will post some more pics as progress is made. Waiting for a 6904zz bearing to replace the rear inner bearing. A little noisy and for the sake of whilst all apart would seem pointless to ignore. The set up is actually very simple, just a few planet gears with a motorised ramp to move the gears into position for contra rotate mode. Nb must work out how to reduce the size of the images i'm posting!

No need to reduce the size of images , they are fine, give sperb detail!!, whats the yellow thingy with wire on top of the drum??

Update
So finally the drum is reassembled and all drum & pulley bearings changed, few teething troubles at first though.
The main drum was very tight, although as halves for contrarotate are free, so that was an improvement. The main drum has freed up since spinning. I am disappointed that there is a bit of a chattering noise from the main bearing, considering it was pressed in. Can only hope that it will quieten given a few hot washes. And that the main bearing seal does the job lol.
Will have to order the gearbox motor, it's on it's way out as it keeps getting stuck and slows.
I have taken some pics of the ramp, gearbox and pulley system coming together. Will load these up soon.
