Dyson DC41 Mk2 (Erp) - Stripdown and Refurb!

A few months ago now, an amazing ebay steal and a freecycle find had the back of my car looking like this after a lovely drive through oxfordshire one Sunday
The Sebo X1 is already sold, the DC40 Mk1 is still here, but we already have a nice rebuild thread on one of those, so this is all about this:

A Dyson DC41 Mk2 Erp for £5!
So on we go!
Cyclone Off
Turn it on it's side, and remove the red clip holding the brushroll housing on
Drop the cable
And release the hose

Which was lovely and clean!
The wand unclips from the hose
And the tools release button pops off
As does the cover for the top cord hook screw
The screw comes out, as does the spring behind it, and the hook itself then falls off the wand
The hose also splits, and this will show how to split the hose end for repair too! Pop the plastic end cap off the hose cuff
The rubber cuff pulls off the hose end
At this point, you would cut the hose at the tear, remove the remains from this black cuff then glue and screw the hose back onto it!
Inside the plastic cuff is this white cover
Underneath is the latch that holds it onto the wand

It's operated by this tiny spring
It just pulls out of the hose cuff
The main handle is clipped onto the chassis, and released by pushing this black latch in
The top cover and wand cover are held in with this locking tab
And pull off when that is released
Time to remove the tools and tool holder
And pull the combi tool apart
These 4 screws hold the switch cover in place

2 small tabs hold the switch cover on, and once removed it all looks like this
With the two switches like this
Pull all the connections apart
And the mains cable can be removed
The spinal cord can be pulled out this far for now
Time to move down now, and remove the post motor filter cover
The filter had a fair bit of fluff in, but not heavily soiled etc
It can be removed and cleaned up

The other wheel on the other side is bolted on. First you remove this cover a quarter of a turn with a pair of needle nose pliers
The screw underneath can be removed with the same process
And the shell lifted off
The top vanity cover unscrews now
Behind the non filter side sit these two washers, which will fall off if you dont remove them now
The socket for the brushroll housing can be lifted up now it's not held in with the vanity cover
But you can't just take the wires out as they run behind this bit of plastic.
Which you could probably just cut, or you could remove the connectors from the plastic block (they just lift out) and feed them through

With that, the holder is free of wiring
And we can remove the screws holding the back of the filter housing on
Next layer now, these screws on one side
And on the other side, the wheel assembly needs to be rotated to uncover the screws
The internal hose is held on with a tiny screw
and once removed the wheel assembly can be lifted off
On the filter side, we find the same 2 spacer washers, but within a plastic cage
Under the wheel assembly is 4 screws

With those removed the internal hose assembly is seperated from the wheel assembly
The pivot lock unclips from the internal hose assembly
Like so
The internal hose starts to split apart, but the end is glued together and I have no desire to mess about with that so left it alone!
This screw holds a plastic cog to the wheel assembly
These two roller wheels pop out
Next layer now, the suction duct
This rear screw is part of it too

Which then lifts off
The cyclone seal lifts off
This reveals the PCB, which is held in with 2 small screws
Remove all the wires and hope this massive capacitor doesn't short out and explode
Next layer now, the underside of the suction duct!
Terrible shot but release the wires that run through it as you remove it
The release valve is hiding in this layer too

The wires sit like so underneath
The brushroll loom can be removed now
Aha, we can see the motor housing now
This is the brushroll switch, that makes the brushroll go on and off when you recline the vac
Looking at this picture, I've lied at some point, as THIS is the flipping wheel housing, that other part must have been something else. Let's call it the yolk carriage assembly or something!
WHEEL ASSEMBLY... Remove the small screw holding this spring on
WHEEL ASSEMBLY off
Fancase cover now
Unlike a DC40, the motor just lifts out!
And that's it for tonight folks, got to be up early! Moar soon, only another 242 pictures to go...

Time for a bit more!
We have the motor out now
From it's dusty place
The motor loom pops out of the access hole
I popped the access cover flap off
Time to get the changeover valve off now
First off is a tiny damper valve, just removed from the body of the machine now
Whilst doing this, the bottom cord hook fell off, as it's just held in with the hose, which is now removed
We are now hampered by the chassis, so let's remove the screws and get that out of the way!

The spinal cord can be removed now as well, as it's held in with the joint
Back to the valve now, the part that holds the damper valve is held in with this screw
Then it lifts out
The damper can be removed with a tiny screw
The damper itself splits down
The little hose and pivoting part lifts out now, with a bit of a fiddle with the hose
Another mounting bracket unscrews
Inside the motor bucket is a rubber mount

The locking part for the recline mechanism sits under this cover
It all just lifts out
That's the main part of the machine done! Time to move on to the cleanerhead!
Looking lovely
The baseplate unclips and hinges forward
Said hinge is held together with some screws
Which makes it much easier
We can look at the Erp bit now, the adjustable mechanism for min and max. It starts with the red slider button that lifts and lowers the rubber front

The red slider pops out
With a bit of fiddling, the rubber part unclips from the baseplate
The black slider mount unclips from the rubber part
As per all of these types of floating baseplate I've seen, the rubber part is jammed up with crud... Deal with that later
Back to the main head, the front bumper lifts off
The brushrolls are held in with the end caps being screwed down
And pull out with the screws removed
The end caps are screwed into the brushroll
and prise off easily once the screw is removed

To show the bearing underneath the end cap
Under the brushroll, there is a deflector plate that slides out
It's quite clean
Under the deflector plate are the screws that hold the motor cover on
To remove the motor parts, the cogs that drive the brushrolls have to be unscrewed and pulled off
The motor lifts out then, but is hindered by the head loom
Quick shot of how the wires run before we unplug them
The motor lifts out
Typical of the brushroll motors from the DC25 onwards

More filth
Time to remove this little loom
The wires handily just slip out
That's the brushroll housing done!
Onto the drive mechanism now
Some screws to undo
Nothing wrong here
The middle wheel falls out now, held in with the 2 sides of the casing
The little belt slips off
