[QUOTE="handsome, post: 1179105, member: 772"] I rebuilt mine about 5 years ago - not as daunting as it seems. You’ve done the hard bit - taking it apart - clean the felt washers and impregnate them with lots of oil, bolt it back together (I think I used 2.5mm nuts n bolts to secure the lower bearing) loosely so you can still move the top and bottom of the motor relative to one another then let it run and gently move the two halves till you have minimum vibration then tighten the bolts. Also run the motor for a couple of hours first to get everything ‘settled’ first. [/QUOTE]
