When replacing the bearings, is there only one small bearing set to replace or are there two sets, one on each side? If there are two, should they both be replaced?

I believe there is only one you need to replace. This was a common issue with the DC24.

Thanks for the guide. $20 for the part and 20 minutes later, I saved myself $400.

You, sir, are awesome.

Bless you for the guide.
