Description

Nilfisk Extreme domestic vacuum cleaner front castor, sold in a PACKET OF ONE, see the second picture.

Note: A Torx 20 (T20) screwdriver is required to fit them.

This castor also fits the Nilfisk GM90 and GS90 and The GD1000 Series of commercial vacuum cleaners which includes the Nilfisk GD1005 and the Nilfisk GD1010 and the Nilfisk Business 10 litre commercial vacuum cleaner and the Nilfisk Family 5 litre barrel vacuum cleaner

They also fits the Nilfisk GM200 series, the GM300 series, the GM400 Series and the Nilfisk GM500 King series Domestic Vacuum Cleaner series as well as the Nilfisk Compact C120 C220 C330 series Vacuum Cleaner

The photo depicts the current castor, but the exploded view, shows the earlier type.

The front one is easy to replace, however, the back ones require the whole machine to be stripped, not an easy job if you've not done it before. AND ELECTRICAL COMPETENCE IS STRONGLY ADVISED

HOWEVER: to avoid having to strip the machine, we're now beginning to stock Pn. 147-1040-510 which allows the worn out wheel to be carefully pulled off and replaced, instead of unscrewing the castor complete, however, this is a new item for us, and stock may be limited.

If the front wheel is good and it's the old grey type with the ball bearing in it, then it may be replaced with the new wheel, and this wheel moved to replace a single rear wheel that's broken.

In that case, carefully lever the back broken wheel, straight off, in line with the axle on which it pivots.

If you haven't busted it, you'll see how it's done. Then do the same with the front, check the C clip is still on the pivot axle and you have the ball bearing and replace these parts on the rear.

Then use a new wheel on the front of the machine.

UPDATE since mid 2014, these wheels on the 15 to 20 YEAR old machines have begun to break up, and we're asked each month to replace a couple of sets.

At the moment standard postage within Australia, is capped at a maximum of $30 So maximise the saving on postage and buy some packets of dustbags, or a hose or a new floor tool, or some other accessories from the related items below!

The Vacuum Doctor

G'day Therese,

Thanks very much for your review. Even though it's negative review, this will help others with similar issues, not that we've had it before.

As I explained in my reply to your message about this a couple of weeks ago, when I explained It's been a long time since I worked on a Nilfisk Extreme.

I haven't retained the memory of replacing the front castor wheel of the Nilfisk Extreme, we didn't see many of them, because we are mainly commercial and industrial service agents and dealers.

After checking the Nilfisk service manual, which I attached, for you, hopefully you'll agree it's pathetic.

I'm now pretty sure that you need to strip it down so you can remove the base to replace the complete castor.

Hence you need to be electrical competent taking appliances apart, or take it to an approved Nilfisk service agent for it to be done.

Therefore, if you're careful, the old wheel can be levered off the castor spindle, fixed to the front of the vacuum cleaner.

Then very, very carefully do the same with the new castor.

The new castor part can then be pressed on the old spindle, and hopefully that will do the trick.

After your feedback, I added wheel SKU. 147-1040-510 find it here: https://vacuumdoctor.com.au/products/nilfisk-and-tellus-extreme-and-gd1000-commercial-vacuum-cleaner-swivel-wheel?_pos=1&_sid=19bac64e1&_ss=r that is slightly easier to carry out this repair.

I've updated both pages to improve the information, however, these wheels fit about a dozen machines made since the 1980's.

This castor has also been modified three times since it was originally made.

Take care 😊
