Vacuum Head Squeeking

Hello,
Can anyone offer their ideas as to why my vacuum flush toilet pump has started squeaking. Can I fix it if it’s bearings?😫😫😫
Thanks in advance

Re: Krissy

If it's squeaking, perhaps it is a mouse...

I know nothing about vacuum flush toilets. But when our old hand pump toilet got stiff and squeaky we'd flush some vegetable oil down it. Usually fixed it for about a week.

There are different squeaks that these can make. All of them are repairable. Not all of the noises are bearings,
