Dyson call this part the "carriage" unit. Swinging valve mechanism probably makes more sense though. Its not as straightforward as you might hope, but here goes:

Now remove the clutch cover (if your machine has a clutch). The arrows indicate where the screws are, and the lower photo shows it coming off.
