Too bad it don’t work that easy when reassembling the drive belt over the brush roller. Dyson should reinvent another way and drop dead!

Make sure you get all 4 tabs back in before you close it up. It IS a ##&&% to do on some models.

RE-insert brush bar? You mean insert new brush bar? (Not reinsert the old one like in the picture because after all this is instructions for replacing the brush bar right?) Aakkk!

At the bottom it says “to reassemble follow these instructions backwards”…something like that.

Excuse me I have to scream now.
