Home and Auto Treadmill Repair - Page 2

I figure this is a long shot, but what the Hades.
I have a Life Fitness 9500HR Treadmill that the axle(or shaft, whatever you want to call it, that sticks out both sides and turns the pulley) on the motor is loose and makes a knocking sound. Anyone know how to repair this part? I'm a little leary of taking it all apart, would rather not risk killing myself without knowing I can actually do something about the problem

if you can get into the housing, the motor will be held down w/ screws to the frame w/ connectors running to a pcb of some type. just disconect the chain/s,take the screws out and undo the connector wires either from the pcb or the motor itself.

Well, I was a little off. Apparently the shaft where the bearing goes is worn down, thus the loose bearing. So, the shaft has to be "metalicized" or something like that. Not quite as cheap of a repair as I had hoped for.
