Next, the clear plastic wire cover needs to be clipped off
We can see where the really odd, very floppy red wires run
They then run down the side of the assembly, through these plastic holders
The plastic holders come out with the wires
Out they come
When one swivels the machine from side to side, the wire plug stays put, the whole bottom part rotates instead. This works with a pivot ring, and we take the bottom part off first with 2 screws
The top part with the plug lifts off after this
The plug can then be removed from the housing
Inside this is a big nylon bush, which ensures a good seal no matter where the machine is pointing.

Ye big old internal hose pulls out now
This small looking insignificant bit of plastic is the lock for the machine, when it's upright this pops out and locates with a hole on the bag housing side and stops the machine falling over
Because this is a Miele and not a Vax/TTI, or Hoover/TTI to our American friends, the beefy pivoting mechanism is not made of plastic, rather actual metally metal. The fixed portion that sits on the yolk slides out of these places
With both of those removed, that's the yolk done! We can now tip the motor out of its home and remove all of the seals
And get cracking with the rear wheels, and yes, they were that filthy! A screw either side holds them to the lower chassis
They then lift out
The axles themselves pull out of the end pieces, bringing the wheels with them
The crud scraped off the wheels, god knows where these have been!

The rear wheels on the S7/U1 machines 'pop out' when needed, and move flush with the base when reclined. All this is done with the two end parts
A small little axle connects the two parts together, and tensions the spring
Then a second little metal axle holds the other side of the metal cog (the side that rotates) into it's place
Rear wheels done and apart, time to service the motor (the motor from Dilys)
Fancase off
That's why it sounded a bit crap then!
Best have that off and washed
I carried on
Carbons were good

Armature seemed happy
Thermal cutout module came out
Covered in filth, won't help it at all
I also noticed the brushroll motor had a load of hair around its spindle
I had to change the water on the fan
Then EVERYTHING was washed, which took bloody AGES, and I had to do it in a few stages as there was too much to just pile up on my plastic sheet on the landing ready for the airing cupboard! Then it all dried, it was all polished, and the red parts machined and laid out for a MEGA exploded diagram
Then it's time to put it back together, starting with the thermal cutout for the motor
Which just clips back together
I gave the bearings a lick of grease whilst I had them in my hand
Which might shut them up

Much better
Did the other one too, and the armature is serviced
And can be dropped back into the motor
Carbons can go back in
Thermal cutout is refitted
Cover refitted
Clean fan!
Fitted fan
Fan covered up, and the rear rubber mounts fitted

And now all these need to go back together!
The half cog and it's axle go in first
Then the spring and it's retaining pin
The main axle is backed out just enough to put the other side on, then it's pushed back through
Making sure the axle passes through the loop of the spring
Clean Wheels!
Not going to lie, this took a few attempts, and studying of the dis-assembly pictures
Eventually both sides were done!
(Image 200, over halfway there now!)
We can now take the spotless lower chassis

The rear wheels can be fitted now, ensuring (at this stage) that you can pull them back/out with your hands, and that they spring back into the 'reclined' position
Motorey goodness now
Fancase seal can be fitted
And the wiring can be plugged in, and the motor dropped in, and the housing seal fitted
Yolk time!
Slide the metal cog bits in
The locking peg can go back in

Internal hose back in
Plastic seal/locating ring back in
The wiring can start to go in now, pop the plug onto it's side of the retaining/rotating ring
I popped a smear of grease around the pivoting ring to smooth it up a bit
And fitted the two parts
The wiring now needs to pass through the hole behind the plug, the cabletie clip fitted and the loop observed, otherwise nothing else will line up further down the line
Put the red wires back in their holders, and fit the holders
And refit the now see-through plastic cover

The metal bushes and plastic spacer can go onto the yolk now
Top motor housing wise, the sound deadening goes in
Then the microswitch
Which I fitted incorrectly, so the below picture is wrong, but included for completeness and to prove that I really am a muppet...
Release pedal
Fitted for releasing goodness
Time to run wires now
Re-fit the wires to the corner piece
Like so. The un-used yellow connector is for the LED strip on the less cheap models, and is very easy to retrofit, I sent these pictures to an american collector who did the upgrade and said it was VERY easy! I'll try and point the bits out as we go...

The observant amongst us may have noticed the motor is now sitting in the opposite part to where I showed it earlier... that's because it needs to!
The last red wire holder goes on now, this is the part that I had issues with RIGHT at the beginning on the old head!
It sits down like this, and the plugs connect
Making sure the yolk is in the reclined position to keep the wheels set correctly
Lob a nugget of grease on each side of the metal cogs
Then fit the top cover to the motor housing
Fit the trim piece. This is what you replace with the LED assembly, it's wires run off through that little hole at the top I think
Bottom covers now

The inner, moving part slots in to the outer part this way round
Then, and this part is tricky, pull out the moving part so it hooks over the base of the chassis as shown, then screw up the top part. Now, when you recline and stand the machine up the moving part will 'stay put' and slide behind the fixed part. This took a go or two as well...
Post filter cover now!
All nicely washed, the diffuser lays over the outer silver part
And Click, it's done!
The cover sits in it's slots
And is fixed down by screwing the polished hood on!
The top red cover screws on now, and this picture highlights the issues I had with alignment, everything really has to be spot on accurate for it to clip together. I had to adjust the lower piece and the top bit together to sort that out
BRUSHROLL! Gosh my fingers hurt...

The end caps had their springs fitted
And in one smooth, fluid motion fit the end caps to the brushroll, then fit the belt and belt guard and drop the whole lot in!
Pop the motor in, and fit the belt and clip down the belt cover (which I really didn't wash very well looking at this picture. Tut tut, I should fire myself!)
Baseplate!
This sort of pushes together, minding to keep the bent out bits of metal from catching
Then a hammer gets the folded over bits bent nicely back down
Wheel axles in
Wheels fitted, with drops of grease where appropriate

The baseplate can be fitted now
And this part is done!
Moving on up (moving on down, time to break free...)
We can put the lower plug into the bag housing
Then run the wires through the holder, then fit the holder to the machine, which was more annoying than I thought, as it has to be precisely in the right place, and drops in and doesn't fall out again!
Pre motor filter cage can go in
The hose end pivot got a squirt of lithium grease, and reassembled
And fitted. The spring sits in a groove in the chassis, which tensions it as it's pulled out so it returns (although even after all this it wasn't the best action it could have been)
The main suction cover goes on now, and clamps the hose pivot down

Blockage inspection cover fitted
Pre motor filter fitted
Bag holder fitted
Then, the bag housing can be fitted back to the motor unit
PCB can go back together
Handle socket fitted, and the cover closed on the handle receptacle

That can be screwed down now
Then the PCB placed daintily on top
The fabulous Dame Dilys sent me a brand new genuine bag, appalled that I was just going to lob a pattern bag in, so that got fitted with pride!
The bag door can go on now, along with its hinges! One locating tab on mine is broken sadly, but it still works, it just needs a bit of help to move straight
Now we jump to me opening another handle... Which through sheer blind luck was listed on ebay for £15 not long after I broke the original one!
AND WE ARE DONE!!!!
Some wax went on
Which made it look alot better
