A year or so ago, a viewer of my youtube channel sent me this, a wonderfully rare, special edition Hoover Purepower!
[attachimg=1]
It was very complete
[attachimg=2]
Dates from 1997
[attachimg=3]
And has a see-through cleanerhead
[attachimg=4]
It's also got a poorly motor
So let's get it apart, and we shall start by removing the cable
[attachimg=5]
and the tools
[attachimg=6]
And the hose
[attachimg=7]
The ends of the hose pop off and unscrew nicely to aid washing the hose
[attachimg=8]
and the crevice tool can be removed
[attachimg=9]
-
Now we can remove the post motor filter
[attachimg=1]
Which looks nice*
[attachimg=2]
The inside of the cover wasn't too bad though
[attachimg=3]
And gives us a date of 1997 for itself
[attachimg=4]
The diagram on the back has survived nicely
[attachimg=5]
Inside the machine looks very grim though
[attachimg=6]
Moving up to the top and we can take the main handle off
[attachimg=7]
Which just unscrews
[attachimg=8]
Under the handle is another screw
[attachimg=9]
-
Followed by 2 more under the bag door
[attachimg=1]
This reveals the wiring
[attachimg=2]
Hoover still held the royal warrant at this time
[attachimg=3]
With that off, the PCB that drives it all can be slid out
[attachimg=4]
The opaque cover plate screws onto the PCB and comes out with it
[attachimg=5]
[attachimg=6]
Screws on nicely though
[attachimg=7]
[attachimg=8]
This is the slider mech for the speed control
[attachimg=9]
-
See, seethrough!
[attachimg=1]
The mains switch seems to mount up top
[attachimg=2]
[attachimg=3]
But remove the cover and the switch is actually sideways inside the housing
[attachimg=4]
This clamp releases the mains cable, which can then be removed easily
[attachimg=5]
The air pipe can come off the bag full indicator sensor
[attachimg=6]
And with another screw the housing for it all pulls out
[attachimg=7]
To remove the wires from the housing the horrible spring slip needs to be removed
[attachimg=8]
Bag door seal can come out now
[attachimg=9]
-
Bag door time now
[attachimg=1]
Which doesn't take long as there's only one latch here
[attachimg=2]
[attachimg=3]
DON'T
[attachimg=4]
The bag holder unscrews from the back chassis
[attachimg=5]
bringing with it some of the tool holder from the back which shares its screws
[attachimg=6]
The bag fill spout can be unscrewed now
[attachimg=7]
Which brings the rest of the tool holder with it
[attachimg=8]
Nice bit of build up under here
[attachimg=9]
-
The filters can now be removed
[attachimg=1]
And that's the top end stripped! We can move onto the bottom half now
[attachimg=2]
The hood unscrews
[attachimg=3]
And the rubber seal pulls off
[attachimg=4]
[attachimg=5]
Onto the next layer, and time to take the brushroll out
[attachimg=6]
The Dyson belt worked well
[attachimg=7]
Brushroll stripped
[attachimg=8]
Front bumper removed
[attachimg=9]
-
Time to separate the two parts now. Flick the locking rings out
[attachimg=1]
and remove them
[attachimg=2]
The two halves will be apart now. I remove the brushroll seals from the bottom and top of the housings
[attachimg=3]
Wheel glamor cap is popped off
[attachimg=4]
And the wheel very gently popped off it's stub
[attachimg=5]
[attachimg=6]
The broken lock pedal was extracted
[attachimg=7]
The retaining clip for the front wheels removed
[attachimg=8]
[attachimg=9]
-
The front wheels can then be pivoted up and removed
[attachimg=1]
And split apart further
[attachimg=2]
The height adjustment plate pops out under the wheels
[attachimg=3]
And that's the bottom chassis stripped!
[attachimg=4]
Time to remove the motor cover!
[attachimg=5]
Which is carbon dust-tastic!
[attachimg=6]
The motor can be lifted out
[attachimg=7]
All rubber seals are removed
[attachimg=8]
It's so filthy!
[attachimg=9]
-
Onto the motor now!
[attachimg=1]
Unplug everything
[attachimg=2]
Slide the thermal cutout away
[attachimg=3]
Then remove the carbon brushes, and unplug the wires and unbolt the top housing
[attachimg=4]
[attachimg=5]
Then tap the fancase off
[attachimg=6]
Remove the fans
[attachimg=7]
And we can find our utterly shagged bearing!
[attachimg=8]
Remove that, and find a replacement
[attachimg=9]
-
Then wash everything!
[attachimg=1]
Clean everything else that can't be washed
[attachimg=2]
Polish everything that can be polished
[attachimg=3]
Then it's time to re-assemble it
[attachimg=4]
Starting with the new bearings on the armature
[attachimg=5]
[attachimg=6]
Then fit the armature to the fancase
[attachimg=7]
Fans on (the fan was washed as well)
[attachimg=8]
Then the fancase goes on
[attachimg=9]
-
Top holder can go on now over the coil once fitted
[attachimg=1]
[attachimg=2]
Then everything is wired up
[attachimg=3]
Moving onto the machine, and the bag full air tube, spinal wire and motor housing seal is re-fitted
[attachimg=4]
Then the motor fitted
[attachimg=5]
The (much cleaner) motor cover can go back on
[attachimg=6]
and be screwed down
[attachimg=7]
Bottom chassis time
[attachimg=8]
Height adjustment mechanism back on
[attachimg=9]
-
Front wheels re-assembled
[attachimg=1]
With a smear of grease to stop the wheels squawking in use
[attachimg=2]
[attachimg=3]
Adjuster change plate clipped in
[attachimg=4]
And the wheels are fitted. Time for a new recline lock assembly
[attachimg=5]
[attachimg=6]
Fitted! Along with the rear wheels, which also got a smear of lubrication
[attachimg=7]
[attachimg=8]
Brushroll seals pushed back in
[attachimg=9]
-
Time to re-build the brushroll
[attachimg=1]
And refit it
[attachimg=2]
The top half retaining rings get placed into position now
[attachimg=3]
And as the top half drops down the rings should close up nicely and hold it all into place
[attachimg=4]
(Fit a belt at this stage) and fit the bumper and fit the hood cover down onto the lower part
[attachimg=5]
[attachimg=6]
Then turn around and see the hood rubber seals behind you, so have it all apart again and fit those
[attachimg=7]
Bag fill port now!
[attachimg=8]
Which means the tool holders get fitted too
[attachimg=9]
-
Bag holder and it's corresponding rear piece
[attachimg=1]
Then a nice genuine bag!
[attachimg=2]
Take the shiny bag door
[attachimg=3]
And fit the latch to it
[attachimg=4]
Fit the bag door seal
[attachimg=5]
Then piece the wiring back together for the switch and associated
[attachimg=6]
[attachimg=7]
Refit the switch cover to the switch
[attachimg=8]
Then take the even more see-through after a polish top cover
[attachimg=9]
-
And fit it to the PCB
[attachimg=1]
Then fit it all to the machine, along with the cover
[attachimg=2]
[attachimg=3]
Top handle now. The plastic spacer tube goes in first
[attachimg=4]
Then the handle afterwards
[attachimg=5]
Re-fit the post motor filter cover latch
[attachimg=6]
And the cover to the machine
[attachimg=7]
Then lob it all to one side whilst you wait for the postman to come...
[attachimg=8]
[attachimg=9]
-
With a brand new height adjustment knob
[attachimg=1]
[attachimg=2]
And some nice new genuine belts
[attachimg=3]
[attachimg=4]
[attachimg=5]
[attachimg=6]
We can glue the tiny piece of damaged plastic back on
[attachimg=7]
[attachimg=8]
Give it all a good coat of wax or 3
[attachimg=9]
-
Then give it all a good buff, refit all the tools and call it done!
[attachimg=1]
[attachimg=2]
[attachimg=3]
[attachimg=4]
[attachimg=5]
[attachimg=6]
[attachimg=7]
[attachimg=8]
It looks so much better now it's clean and polished! But does it work any better?
Yep! Another quite rare Hoover saved, another collector has had it for a while now, infact he is on here so maybe we'll get a status update on it in time!
Thanks for reading!

Garish colour isnt it? :whist11:
It's a while since we've had a good Beko strip down topic.
Super as ever. :bow:
