Once washed, you can lay out arty farty component pictures!
There are 2 bits missing from this picture, can you guess what they are?
Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, but unline Mr. Haynes, I'll show that as well!
Motor first
Fan rear screwed back in
First fan spacer in
Fan (washed)
top washer and retaining nut
and fancase
Inner motor housing next
Motor seals on
A smear of grease around the inside helps slide the motor home. Remember to feed the motor wire in
and the retainer snaps back in
Refit the diffuser
refit the outer housing
Pre filter elbow now
Fit the seal now, as it's much easier than when its fitted!

and the little internal seal too
Fit the elbow to the chassis
Next (and this is unique to the 33), fit the spine cable up into the top, ensuring it sits as so
The slack should sit behind the motor housing, there is a peg to tuck it round on the back of the inner housing
Slot the housing home onto the chassis and screw it together
Fit a lovely air freshener under the post filter
Slot the pivot peg into the housing filter
and snap it home
In 98% of times, you should fit a new filter here. Unless you happen to be making a how to post, or are disassembling your cleaner for other reasons, replace the filter. If the motors gone pop, the filter will STINK!
Close the filter lid
and move on
Fit the release valve cup
then the spring
then the retaining ring
fit the seal
Refit your shiny washed pre motor filter
fit the black pivot rings
Changeover valve gubbins now. Fit the wand banana seal now, as it's a pain to do later
Fit the 2 halves together the correct way round
and fiddle it back in. Inser the back of the black part first into the chassis, then sort of twist and gently bend the looped grey part in, and it should all just go snap and fit perfectly! Then push the tabs down at the front
locking peg back in
Time to fit the top brushroll housing
Re-belt your clutch (there's a guide on here somewhere for this, or Mvacs sell freshly belted ones for £not a lot)
Fit the clutch to the housing and motor, rotate the belt by hand a few times to centre it up
Refit the clutch cover
and screw her down
Fit the retaining rings (the clear ones are great fun to just loose out the corner of your eyes on a light surface...)
Fit the internal hose to the brushroll housing
Fit the hose to the bottom of the changeover valve, then fit the housing to the other housing pivots
Grease the brushroll bearings and pop the brushroll back together
Drop a bearing in one end without pushing it fully down
pop an end cap onto the axle rod, and push that through the bearing, pushing the bearing home with the end cap. Drop the other bearing onto the now sticking out rod
and push that home with the other end cap. Ensure both end caps are rotated to the same direction
Re-lift the belt
and fit the brushroll
Gather up the soleplate wheels (replace these if worn, they often can be)
Refit the edge brushes
Fit the base plate
Refit the wheels. Slot the axle into one wheel on the end you left the circlip on
Pop the washer on, slide the axle through the chassis, pop the other washer on, then the wheel, then the other circlip
Fit the vanity caps
Fit the wand banana clip
and fit the banana
Looking like a Dyson again now!
Fit the seal to the black part of the blockage removal tube on the changeover valve
and fit that to the main housing
fit the seal to the chassis
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-CTIACcI3Yq0/VgBIaXH4WMI/AAAAAAAAr3M/6fu-aGcWvB0/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpgand fit the valve to the machine
Fit the 2 top seals
Time to wire up the switch now. Fit the mains cable and route appropriatly
Connect the neutral up
and fit the protective casing and route the wires away
Fit the switch
fit the housing. It's easier to depress the switch to 'On', the red cap will slide over it much easier
pop the screws back in
Refit the 3 release buttons to the wand (if you removed them in the first place)
fit the wand release button spring
and fit the release button
fit the top cap
(I did this a while ago) but plug the hose back in and you can click the wand in place
Fit the clutch cover (if your cover was a pain to remove, leave this off until you test the machine, as if the clutch isnt working correctly, it'll have to come off again!)
Pop the tool holder clips back in and refit the tools
I had to pause here and wait for the Hermes man, so popped it in the corner with the other projects/repair work
Aha
He left this in a very safe place, I almost didnt find it. If I hadnt have dropped my keys coming in the front door I'd have still been waiting for it now, he tucked it right under the bush outside and didnt push a note through...
Admire your stuff from Mvacs
I bought a new cyclone seal, as the old one was worn to buggary. And now we can put the cyclone back together!
Although I didnt remove this seal, it did partly fall out, so make sure it's tucked in properly
Fit the spring to the bin release button
The spring sits over this dimple on the other half of the cyclone
Offer the 2 parts up, but dont clip them together. With a small screwdriver, flick the spring over the dimple
Then snap them home, ensuring the spring doesnt do one in the process
Fit the bin seal, the V goes at the top (you'll see when it's infront of you)
Fit the very snug new seal over the white top cover, ensuring all the screw holes line up
and pop it onto the cyclone
screw it down
Drop the spring and second release peg into the hole. This is a bit fiddly, as the spring has to 'flick' the rod outwards to clear the bin
pop the top cover on
and screw that down too
(If you took it off) refit and screw the top handle down
Insert the spring into the hole
And snap the top red button and assembly down, ensuring the locating peg sits in the screw, and the cutout to receive the second layer of bin release rod
Ensure the release rod works fine at this end. The flat bit should stay outwards as shown, or it fouls on the bin when fitted
There are 2 flat bits of the spring, these need to be positioned correctly to aid this. I would show how, but I never get it right, and it takes a few goes to get it just so...
Fit the bottom cone seal to the cone
insert the cone into the shroud at an angle, lining up the 4 tabs, then push and snap it all into place
Fit the flap seal
Fit the bin rod. Insert the one side as shown, then push down until the rest of it clicks into place
Fit the bottom flap, again with a snap it pushes home
Cyclone done
Machine done!
A British Gas bloke picked it up earlier tonight for £50, I did want a little bit more, but tbh had not alot of interest, and I wanted it gone, and £50 from £5 is better than nowt, paid for a lovely kebab and chips anyway, with enough left over for a weeks shopping!
Hope this helps someone! The 33 seems to be the last of the 'good' wheeled dysons, although the wand and top of the chassis is quite flexible, it's clear the bean counting had begun at Dyson by this point. I wonder why they did one last wheeled machine when the 15, 24 and 25 were out by this point?
