It seems I've developed a squeal that appears to be from the upper wheel.My s/n is 101875 from the late 80's. Can the bushing be lubed or is the only way is to replace the wheel assembly? According to the s/n, it should have ball bearing for the guides and I have read that the old bushing type made a lot of noise.
Thanks for the help.

Re: Upper Bandsaw Wheel
Yes, the upper needle bearing can be re-greased. Remove the C clip to remove the wheel.
