Atlas copco lfx oil free Compressor repair part 1

I have had this Atlas copco LFX compressor for around 7 years, bought used and was originally owned by the NHS so has seen some use. I think it is around 15 years old so is doing pretty good.
It has been getting noisier over the last year and recently it started to make a loud squeaking noise and then would randomly seize up, but when stopped it would free up again.
This video will cover disassembly and diagnosis of this issue. Part 2 will cover reassembly. It is worth noting this LFX model appears to have all the same part numbers as the newer LXF version, I used the parts diagram from the LXF as a rough guide as i couldnt find one for the LFX.
