Bissell Powerforce Helix Brushroll Bearings Replacement

In the end, I replaced two sets of bearings on two purple brushrolls. Cheap and quick.

Doesn't get better than this! Even your comment section provided the bearing number (608) too. Thank you for giving of tour time to teach us all how to make the roller repair professionally. before

[@VacLab]

You are welcome.

Thanks for the video, I was replacing the belt without knowing that the bearing is jammed. But now after removing the rust, machine is making heavy loud noise. I checked for any lose body part but cannot find any.

Your video was educational! Now I know that WD-40 does not suffice for grease. And the idea to use sockets to help remove and possibly replace bearings was educational too. At the end, you should have stood up your just completed and treated brushroll up on it’s end and then give it the spin test. Take into account that the new bearing and the new grease have to be “broken in“ first. This video will come in handy as I right now have two trashpicked PowerForce 2191s, both of which need brush roll bearing surgery. One of them also needs a new height adjuster as the tab on one side is busted off. Do you have a video for a Jerry rig repair for that or does it strictly require getting a new height adjuster?

I had to do this with a brand-new OEM brush roll. They had the bearings too tight in the inserts. This basically rendered the spring washer useless, resulting in a sloppy fit and noise.

[@VacLab]

Bummer. Glad you got it fixed though.

[@Sanisidhu89]

Just repaired my vaccum while seeing your video. Thanks for explaining everything what I need to hear to fix mine. Gbu 🙏👍🏽 really appreciate it man.

[@VacLab]

Wonderful!

[@mikehrdlicka8635]

I looked on Amazon for bearings. The number you gave. Kind of expensive are the skateboard bearings the same?

[@VacLab]

I get everything on eBay, not Amazon.

[@ryanhawkins1235]

Nice video. I need to track down some of that Grease for some Hoover Convertible beater bars I need to order bearing for to get rebuilt and for a Electrolux CB that needs bearings worked on too.

Hey vaclab just got a older bissell powerforce compact like the one you have, and the brush roll sound terrible. Thinking about replacing it most likely but also considering replacing the bearings (if it is the bearings), and I haven’t replaced a bearing in my life, could you help me please?

[@VacLab]

You want me to replace your bearings?

[@Thevacuumenthusiast]

@@VacLab well I’m in Texas and that would take a while I’m assuming. How much? And just fyi it makes a crunchy sound when I turn it

[@VacLab]

@@Thevacuumenthusiast it's going to be cheaper if you just buy a new one rather than paying shipping both ways plus labor and parts.

[@Thevacuumenthusiast]

@@VacLab thank you for helping! I’m probably going to find a cheap brush roll or find the kind of bearing and replace them. Thanks vaclab!

[@sonyahelms6517]

So,,,,where do you buy the bearings? Asking for a friend of course.

[@VacLab]

I get most everything from eBay. Just search the bearing number.

[@RayThackeray]

Mine completely seized after only about a month and a few uses. What a load of crap I decided to take the vacuum back to Walmart.

[@VacLab]

Did you get another Bissell?

[@dariuslavy3913]

Some people wait too long and have to buy a new vacuum or a complete roller.

[@yairakatz8688]

Got my vacuum cleaner back up and running. Thank you!

[@VacLab]

Great!

[@coast2coast00]

Thanks! saved my mom from buying a new vacuum. I had some new 608's on hand so I was able to replace the rusty bearings for her before she finished her snack.

[@tonymorris1465]

Exactly the video i needed.I forgot where the spring clips went after taking it apart.thanks

[@VacLab]

Your welcome.

[@SamSmallEngineShed]

I have a Bissell Momentum. I replaced the belt when it snapped and it was so loud! I figured it was the bearings and looked at eBay as recommended. What I was about to order listed “for skateboards” as one use. It dawned on me that I had some new skateboard bearings in the garage. I don’t know the rpm rating etc but they were the right size. Swapped them in and it’s so much quieter! For now, that will work!

[@dontblameme6328]

Used sealed bearings instead of just shielded.

[@VacLab]

All bearings are "sealed", so I guess you mean rubber or metal seals then. 😁

[@MINHLATHANH823]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍Hi. I'm from Vietnam, I'm looking forward to making friends. Your video is very good and helpful, I really like your video. thank you for sharing

[@VacLab]

Hello Thanh from Vietnam.

[@edgaravelar2750]

Thank you much!

[@RampageTheGorilla]

What size bearings are you using I know they are 608z

[@VacLab]

It's clearly mentioned in the video.

[@guypawlak8762]

The 608Z bearings are 8mm Bore, 22mm OD, and 7mm W.

[@KirbyEnthusiast]
