Default 1220 Rebuild

After only 15000 miles I think my blower is in need of a rebuild. It has gotten somewhat louder and distinct whistle has turned to more of a whine. I am thinking the bearings are gone. I am positive I saw some instructions posted on how to do a rebuild. I have searched but can't find them. Does anyone remember the thread that has them posted?

If it needs a rebuild, just send it to Paxton for warranty repairs. Let Chris@SOS know too. My 1220 needed a major rebuild after 11K miles. According to the invoice, this would have cost me over $800 to repair.
