My virtually new, but warrantyless, 5xx Roomba appears to require the much talked about bearing modification to the brush gearbox. Where can I acquire difinitive information on the process and the parts (bearings) needed, or at least precise bearing numbers or dimensions?

Thanks in advance.

You can either buy the bearings yourself, purchase them from Vic7767, or you can send him your unit and he'll mod it for you.
