The noise appears to be in the area of the belt. When I rotated the belt by hand to inspect it, I noticed that it was cut almost all the way through. I suspect that this is the culprit. I also saw the bearing on the bottom, sprayed some BREAKFREE on it, then realized that that was a sealed bearing and the lubricant would have no affect on it. How do I get at the belt, and how do I change it?
