gotta love it when the bearing stays stuck in the top of the floor maintainer housing and you have to work it out somehow.
there’s an excessive grinding noise, does anyone what could be it and what might be a remedy? thanks in advance
Did you figure it out mine is doing the same

in step five if you look where you removed phillips screw there are two threaded holes.if you use screws in those holes and tighten it acts like a gear puller
Very good illustrations.
