Noise in Powermatic 209HH cutterhead

I have developed a noise in the cutterhead of my planer. I have taken off all sheet metal and cleaned can lubricated everything. Has anyone had any problems like this. My gut feeling is bearings but hoping for an easier fix. Thanks in advance, Kevin

If it's anything like the noise in this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0eTfL2O8K4), it's the bearings all right.
