A few months ago, one of our team managers mentioned that her dyson hose had broken, so she bought a new one... :'(
Fast forward to last thursday, and she told me it was in the back of her car. When she left, I popped with her and grabbed it
Older Dysons came in 2 flavours, Clutched, and Non Clutched.
Non clutched looks like this

And clutched models look like this

If you have a clutch in front of you, you want this thread: https://manchestervacs.co.uk/DysonForum/index.php/topic,1553.0.html (https://manchestervacs.co.uk/DysonForum/index.php/topic,1553.0.html)
Anyway, I bought this dyson into the office as I had an hour left (everyones used to me and vacuum cleaners so not an eyelid was batted...)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FlctfnkQVhE/VcBwlcEM3dI/AAAAAAAAphI/CAcRvbifDOA/s512-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
and took it home
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-fxWifeQStPw/VcBwmwkldtI/AAAAAAAAphQ/7JLobHbWQkI/s512-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
It was surprisingly non faded! Tayyab tells me it's a later one, due to the lack of stickers on the cyclone, the lime green handle top, lack of wand cap spring and that the plastics are different being a later one so no fading like the earlier models!
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-JGFJWXP5eqw/Vb44kDTW28I/AAAAAAAApAA/FHJe5CmMZe4/s512-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-EEAriv2aQgw/Vb44lbX16kI/AAAAAAAApAI/HMAcLBQRf-Q/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Cyclone off first, and put to one side
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-iwPtRtTXgUI/Vb44mpRTnUI/AAAAAAAApAQ/JDG6zqCowvY/s512-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Cord off
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-l4CyRJK7MPQ/Vb44n2799_I/AAAAAAAApAY/qlh_8Q8BLmc/s512-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Wand off
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-wg522SNmKyM/Vb44pbfEVbI/AAAAAAAApAg/YTefxBZMYw4/s512-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Ah yea, forgot about the broken hose
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-r3ut0qSIHo8/Vb44qwyy4BI/AAAAAAAApAo/AetydcUo2yo/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Had a crevice tool
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TDOGt_152Wk/Vb44rx4teaI/AAAAAAAApAw/wIGDbI5PATM/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
To remove the hose, grab your trusty flatblade, and push in and up on this tab
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-fa0_w905MfQ/Vb44tc-8uuI/AAAAAAAApA4/HECAw_A4s_8/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Which will pop the hose out
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Hn-VPaF39zM/Vb44uol0MLI/AAAAAAAApBA/GPajUMYpVac/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Now you can remove the hose, and in my case, sling it in the bin. Put to one side, or run it through the washing machine on a long hot wash with a few towels and the washable filter that sits in the top of the cyclone.
Onto the wand. The wand cap pulls off from one side then falls off
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-bcJJ1w6Ulnw/Vb44v9HnEsI/AAAAAAAApBI/Ei7O56a3iF0/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FBEqdsY5otM/Vb44xkZ3ZzI/AAAAAAAApBQ/Ykh7bS_SNKw/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
On most other DC04's there is a metal spring here that clips into 2 tiny holes either side of the wand. Remove this if you have it
Around to the front, and lever off one side of the wand release button
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0JDw0BfV_64/Vb44yzZO-pI/AAAAAAAAphY/nOsjfxP8VUA/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-UjaD7LCUlY0/Vb440YkeVNI/AAAAAAAApBg/3PMHpaMsd-M/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
and remove it
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0seCZaMhKFk/Vb441nlPr9I/AAAAAAAApBo/pU3DuEdrx4s/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Pop the spring to one side.
This next bit I almost advise you DO NOT DO, as the risk of borkage is high, and these wand caps are blummin expensive and rare now... but it does lever out from the back
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-A42DqJjle3U/Vb4425CZIXI/AAAAAAAApBw/qZUUtPJNJvU/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
and then lifts off from the front (dont pull it off)
Again, not really needed but I'll cover it for completeness, if you pop this cap off the top cord hook
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lkXZv6HxSTE/Vb445fJAGdI/AAAAAAAApB4/1hXlMyakCz0/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
and undo the large torx screw that sits under the lithium grease
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TGA3mZMdYZQ/Vb4464ST1XI/AAAAAAAApCA/bK7uF69PeL4/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
You get the top cord hook off
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GjJ-F6_TpnE/Vb448bdXwgI/AAAAAAAApCI/-QZ0ZiEH37I/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
This photo came out blurry which was a shame but the wand is now complete!
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4e8drHpP13U/Vb449hLEeXI/AAAAAAAApCQ/audjs-4AdpM/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Next, you need to obtain a lovely DC04 Switch removal tool (https://manchestervacs.co.uk/Dyson/DC04-spares.html/DC04-switch-removal-tool (https://manchestervacs.co.uk/Dyson/DC04-spares.html/DC04-switch-removal-tool)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-oupYgpOtyfM/Vb44_UA_FGI/AAAAAAAApCY/ZeQYhM2X3m0/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-pSeCyX6_qaU/Vb45AV9cQiI/AAAAAAAApCg/sUmoHcHYbHM/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-9eqOWBCuoOM/Vb45BsMMpCI/AAAAAAAApCo/uqrjSn7J7tk/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
It can be a b :censored:d, not gonna lie, but it will come out!
You can now remove the screw holding the switch assembly in place
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Rdqcmx-Gqrc/Vb45Cmxcn2I/AAAAAAAApCw/WAO5CG08KhQ/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
and the switch assembly lifts out
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-iKBIa33MFpA/Vb45EBJAAII/AAAAAAAApC4/3AwVYIjiZR4/s512-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
You could strip this part out as well, but they do break easily when removing the switch so I never do anymore. All you need to do is disconnect the neutral wire
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XlNYNGKzQbI/Vb45F46HFoI/AAAAAAAApDA/qbVFj_woQN8/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpghttps://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XlNYNGKzQbI/Vb45F46HFoI/AAAAAAAApDA/qbVFj_woQN8/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Then remove the one live connector from the switch
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FS3I7HbVhEQ/Vb45HRBknhI/AAAAAAAApDI/yGBkxJyVl4A/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Unclip the wires from the switch housing
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-W9mQ1iRaqJo/Vb45JDlYA0I/AAAAAAAApDQ/OqV0lW9Oerc/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
and you should be free
Cable off!
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-wJIYfxTuRP8/Vb45Kw9xyEI/AAAAAAAApDY/w-m12KVg624/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
You will need to remove the spade terminal cover off the live wire (no idea why the neutral is showing, sorry!) to get the spine cable out. It does pop out by inserting the switch removal driver into the back of the connector and levering up the locking tab, it locks on the non flat side of the terminal.
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-HheWGsWUskY/Vb45MQRM1kI/AAAAAAAApDg/-ROzxDJGxi8/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Remove the chassis seals
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rOblkBmVinM/Vb45NflmFnI/AAAAAAAApDo/p34DzAudUbs/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VqWO6G9ceHo/Vb45OnqjuyI/AAAAAAAApDw/Zn2hzZtMae4/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-YZFqoFBf6jc/Vb45P4wqo9I/AAAAAAAApD4/jz9Y6KDb1Kg/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-EP3SF0AcvXM/Vb45Q7ZhsCI/AAAAAAAApEA/ApIFFxsXhIo/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Moving down the machine, pop the post motor filter cover off using the handy lug for just this purpose!
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-zd6672FI5qg/Vb45SF8faOI/AAAAAAAApEI/7mWb5rHxXrI/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
This allows access to the post motor filter
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xKq-JbVURFo/Vb45TTEhFiI/AAAAAAAApEQ/w24fvG5O3JI/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Which really SHOULD NOT be this black!
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-A8YfALA0JJs/Vb45UpM1aHI/AAAAAAAApEY/gymiMSNn9XQ/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-NMVs3SPQ7N8/Vb45V6A8kqI/AAAAAAAApEg/kbv8uspqMuk/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Next up is the LH Blockage removal assembly. Squeeze both tabs in
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hKkXYf6visw/Vb45XPoAOLI/AAAAAAAApEo/LzBStf7djMY/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
and out it comes
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VC-WUw313TE/Vb45YPI9YnI/AAAAAAAApEw/VCI6IBkWF_M/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
To remove the lower part, you hold it like so, the opposite sides to the locking tabs
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-dp6YrK2O4sE/Vb45ZohapKI/AAAAAAAApE4/z9Hw5ga8pFo/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
then squeeze and pull and it will distort away from the tabs and pull off
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-JZCRUWtH9iQ/Vb45a5sVrhI/AAAAAAAApFA/J4H5SbR7OCA/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
This then allows you to strip it down as so, the rubber seal pulls off the end of the lower housing
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-iQJSGwKkFlM/Vb45cp1ehhI/AAAAAAAApFI/N8bHa1ZyZxA/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Remove the chassis seal
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XdYZktWywO0/Vb45d1nkQPI/AAAAAAAApFQ/xVaqCpl5pzw/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-JsB5-RFP9sE/Vb45fIDipjI/AAAAAAAApFY/t0C3HYvGXKc/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
The seal is held on by a big plastic circlip
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-fWyFXYeJC8w/Vb45gYqiG7I/AAAAAAAApFg/2PZnhxlhomI/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
This pulls off
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XFx9bRZJPQk/Vb45hsTa7VI/AAAAAAAApFo/n0kwBDwLCkE/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Moving underneath the machine, remove the lower blockage removal assembly (this unblocks the wand if you block it via the hose...)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-nvhce5dK24M/Vb45i5IEBjI/AAAAAAAApFw/5MEgvHkWbR0/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ptmCiCoKVe4/Vb45ke9HZnI/AAAAAAAApF4/m0FTPC9zp_8/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
A quick twist of the green part removes it from the u bend if you are being anal about it...
Next is the base plate, and you need to have the machine in this position to start with
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-NKcVv2vpbzU/Vb45lmFk-bI/AAAAAAAApGA/E-aQdNCd5EA/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
because once the locking tabs are undone the base plate comes away like so, and clearance is needed
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-tI78IMM9-1U/Vb45m9OJ76I/AAAAAAAApGI/a4h5jk75A1U/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
The base plate lifts away now
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-1F4Lmgh4psc/Vb45ovBXgFI/AAAAAAAApGQ/Pwz0WzxZsvE/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
There are 2 seals on the baseplate. They may be quite fragile nowadays, and you must not loose them. They do lift out if needed, or can stay in and not harm anyone.
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_qB_Ig0mYBk/Vb45qLIY9BI/AAAAAAAApGY/J9DrcP93K9I/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-QmVUsOAhvpQ/Vb45rmdx5_I/AAAAAAAApGg/PGrHFhxNa8M/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Remove the blockage if you spot one
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3-3jZzvFZqM/Vb45s1JBXeI/AAAAAAAApGo/nZCs9CieRng/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
You will now see the belt winking at you. Pop it off the motor spindle with a screwdriver or your finger
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-HXAmNWCjjlA/Vb45uTn3gTI/AAAAAAAApGw/ZJ4DEz47v10/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-5Tvu5FwU9OQ/Vb45v2d1sxI/AAAAAAAApG4/hojjFasWQQE/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
The brushroll lifts out of the housing now
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Ll8a8f5zDnw/Vb45xsOyn6I/AAAAAAAAphk/iqrw6UbNgCU/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
The end caps can be removed now. If you hold both ends and twist/pull, one end will come off. Withdraw the axle and remaining end cap, hold the axle in a vice/molegrips and twist the other end cap off
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IDiy7OyMyJE/Vb45zeDkvOI/AAAAAAAApHI/JLbm1XFiKkg/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
The bearings sit inside the brushroll
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TgYbF5T4wcc/Vb450jNBiTI/AAAAAAAApHQ/ySvWQlH3WDs/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Insert the axle just into the bearing enough so it doesnt come too far out the other side and lever
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-vI2bdDx5T3s/Vb451wSqoUI/AAAAAAAApHY/RkkRiRj66EQ/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Damn flash flare, sorry
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-fv1ISFxp16M/Vb453eVxA9I/AAAAAAAApHg/fqhokeI76u0/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
And out
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hhwyDjY-dk4/Vb454fcdLWI/AAAAAAAApHo/rfUxeyssUiw/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
This brushroll has the common wear on one side, with the other side fine
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-JxWMgNLUMIc/Vb455_FmyDI/AAAAAAAApHw/u3Vutg4NiRY/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
You could look at replacing it (https://manchestervacs.co.uk/Dyson/DC04-spares.html/brushroll-non-clutch-dc04-dc07-dc14 (https://manchestervacs.co.uk/Dyson/DC04-spares.html/brushroll-non-clutch-dc04-dc07-dc14)) but it does sound fine when back together, with no vibrations, and the overall brushroll is good. You'll have to make the call.
Now, back underneath and pull the little hose off the machine. The hose may come away from the grey end, pull the grey end off as well.
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-k0vZdI2VHAM/Vb456wCxL_I/AAAAAAAApH4/jZD6oY_9Zmk/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-8cO_ANXjGF4/Vb458fDD5gI/AAAAAAAApIA/3PzzuSad0CA/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Now, very carefully rotate the brushroll housing around and lever it out of either end with something, being careful not to snap the locating tabs on the main cleaner housing
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-f2XzuS_rVTs/Vb459gLhYTI/AAAAAAAApII/noWxbzmYG34/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-O-8h7LqTnb0/Vb45_N07LSI/AAAAAAAApIQ/ttlrvQgMHzc/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
The internal hose unscrews from the brushroll housing, and needs to go in here
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IRhW3j5Nm5w/Vb46Ae0kWoI/AAAAAAAApIY/b-UswjQhntg/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Now, get yer flatblade out and pop an edge of these locking circlips up
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-JxMOw4sGW1s/Vb46BWek1fI/AAAAAAAApIg/4-SbPQ3DTj4/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FZYqWpEB4Kk/Vb46CQx1FTI/AAAAAAAApIo/yi_e0DzSsuM/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
and remove it
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-F3AZRNUegPc/Vb46DwaQfrI/AAAAAAAApIw/vY0Uk7dxGjM/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Do the same on the other side
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-DQjmyBkCWVA/Vb46E5K5cgI/AAAAAAAApI4/aPNL-0JdHIA/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Lay the cleaner like so, then raise it slightly so the head flops down even further still. Whislt still in this position, you need to grab each edge by where it pivots
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ogAeaIYPGg4/Vb46Ho6pEmI/AAAAAAAApJI/OMfS-9SU2o8/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
at the same time and it lifts off
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-W3DNNkhWAKA/Vb46JN2wvsI/AAAAAAAApJQ/EtuMpODDfQc/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hJ36nJ5qCNY/Vb46KhTnNkI/AAAAAAAApJY/TSP4jiRSTNo/s512-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Next, we need to work on the changeover valve. Start by popping the 2 small tabs holding the locking part in place
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-g8qVV2a2HUU/Vb46LmHFLII/AAAAAAAApJg/xTuOXkihjFs/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Push in and down and it moves the part away so it doesnt pop back in. Pull it out from underneath with your fingers
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-N1g0lzRuZtg/Vb46Otc_wkI/AAAAAAAApJw/lKzgsRJcESc/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
This bit is fun... Whilst gently pulling the top part away from the chassis, push up slightly underneath the black part so there's a gap enough for you to get the screwdriver in each end. Pop the tabs up gently
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Z4bQwBaO3E0/Vb46P7res1I/AAAAAAAApJ4/IURZQK5vASM/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
The black part should lift up once the grey part is clear of the chassis, but then get stuck. Slide the grey part out from the front, then wriggle the black part out, it will catch on the seal underneath
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-QfrV7UQQ4jA/Vb46ROnYPiI/AAAAAAAApKA/Q0RuwfwL7GQ/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Pull the seal off the diverter valve, this is where the wand blockage u bend connects to
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-PUAt6GYb6XE/Vb46SzQEa9I/AAAAAAAApKI/B_hx5sh2uNo/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Either side of the chassis, where we pulled the front head off are 2 black locating rings. They pull out easily
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Q2JlrvswAQI/Vb46UPGlrTI/AAAAAAAApKQ/GYfi6rR9RNE/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
-
Wheels now. Lever one of the vanity caps off
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-K_0pYQFjd0I/Vb46Vca-iJI/AAAAAAAApKY/JZ-YlGB380g/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-PEV4q42rEMk/Vb46WZjO3JI/AAAAAAAApKg/R3b5KCe4Wn8/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Lever the circlip off
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3DIe8FHe6rc/Vb46XuBgN2I/AAAAAAAApKo/8i5U4ObbyiE/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
and remove the wheel
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-JPFYhp8elpU/Vb46YmDptRI/AAAAAAAApKw/gfcsPklnkp8/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Remove the 1 or 2 small washers that sit behind each wheel. Withdraw the axle and other wheel from the other side
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-UVwcErhRl5c/Vb46Z2gwTUI/AAAAAAAApK4/RRVzhPlfcns/s512-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
To get the other wheel off, hold it by the wheel and smack the axle down onto the floor gently, it will pop the vanity cap off, and the wheel will slide off the axle, no need to remove the other circlip on the other end of the axle.
That done, pull the spine cable out of the chassis
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-tL9jjuT8bdw/Vb46bLgltSI/AAAAAAAApLA/mxpYdvyTr1I/s512-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-eN8AL88H1QA/Vb46cj0puVI/AAAAAAAApLI/rmZhsGlG4Z0/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Undo all the screws visible on the top of the motor housing, and it should fall off the chassis
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-zQF3Wh7dL38/Vb46eODXRbI/AAAAAAAApLQ/VvRFUXuUsSw/s512-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
There is a removable part of the airflow channel that can come out now. be VERY careful with the seal, 8 out of 10 I do are perished and snapped, the parts do glue together if you cant find another seal though...
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-aoUwjZnBqU4/Vb46ffXnAzI/AAAAAAAApLY/jJ_gBdJst9I/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hU1xkqYOQPY/Vb46gwBqQTI/AAAAAAAApLg/F7wgl-gkE9Y/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
The motor housing has a cover on it
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-NbCtEzSPai4/Vb46iPOQm_I/AAAAAAAApLo/TKoGVKDTc9k/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Pull the back edges out and it slides off from the front
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xSmrVreluyc/Vb46jo3ZpEI/AAAAAAAApLw/IdkncM9TL5I/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
The motor is held in with a locking ring. Pop each tab out and it comes off easily
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-cmxUemlS0C4/Vb46k4IVFNI/AAAAAAAApL4/vkbMsRRVFRM/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-mYwh_hTb0dI/Vb46meiub6I/AAAAAAAApMA/5kzRIuslIx4/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Push this part of the cable in slightly so the rubber end clears the housing
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-NI3jcyxkS8Q/Vb46np9DXHI/AAAAAAAApMI/MbXTKfC3sOk/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-OCcSkYjESvQ/Vb46o7utdYI/AAAAAAAApMQ/Ah51nsiV1Ss/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
To remove the motor, push down on the housing with the belt spindle on the floor, this will pop the motor up slightly

This motor is only in the non clutched DC04, all other dc04s, 7s and 14s use the common YDK. A YDK can be fitted I think but you need the YDK motor mounts too.
Undo the screws holding the diffuser onto the motor housing
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-aZyHYc8N4_c/Vb46zDP5YmI/AAAAAAAApNI/Vh9chPeqCCM/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
and lift the diffuser out

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-bXrIZX9AaPo/Vb46-PDIUFI/AAAAAAAApOI/-11z00jQJl4/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
and using a flat blade, pop the locating lugs off one side and remove the lid from the main unit

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-x124xhKpz0E/Vb47HpiChrI/AAAAAAAApPA/ZQEjPmIs59o/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Under the filter are the last 2 screws on the machine
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-dAY_EN9y_2s/Vb47IjesssI/AAAAAAAApPI/G4fEvV3l8Iw/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
The top cyclone and shroud slide out, possibly taking the bin to housing seal with it as it has done here
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-22GR9c756DA/Vb47KG1Tn2I/AAAAAAAApPQ/Padxo1ZLIcA/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
This is a messy part, you may want to pop outside for this...
Hold the shroud and cone very firmly by the shroud with both hands
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-kaD5tx97nbI/Vb47LHRDWbI/AAAAAAAApPY/dSMtrAsog7g/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
and smack it hard on somethign soft but firm (the lawn, bit of old carpet etc) with enough force to crack the shroud off the cone, but not so much force it shatters the diffuser at the end of the cone...
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-1ZVW6HNJ7e0/Vb47MuOXcrI/AAAAAAAApPg/Y9SU24tByz0/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
There is a seal at the top of the shroud
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-o6ekNFWowkE/Vb47NtIhxiI/AAAAAAAApPo/tvKtFQMpupg/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-UAgp1ITXTgk/Vb47POjw8vI/AAAAAAAApPw/Ut_a3M60j38/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Never EVER remove this peice, one of the little plastic lugs WILL snap on you, scrapping the part
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-zrq21I5zi5M/Vb47RlJ6LNI/AAAAAAAApQA/3UI6yPYKWlQ/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Lastly is the bleed valve
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-zrq21I5zi5M/Vb47RlJ6LNI/AAAAAAAApQA/3UI6yPYKWlQ/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
With some VERY careful levering, the outer cover will pop out
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TVJXbbnRW2c/Vb48DtTtksI/AAAAAAAApQM/uL7cBlPjMgs/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0XEUJQ7toEc/Vb48FIx-MsI/AAAAAAAApQU/btoqQbIJX64/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
With even more careful levering at the point shown, pop the valve out of the cover. It's held in with a big clip, this may snap off but even if it does the valve glues back into place well enough
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-127uIOFeOyY/Vb48GW4Q0OI/AAAAAAAApiM/ljScKJXdSVA/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-EKJVbQEh0sg/Vb48H0-BfaI/AAAAAAAApQk/UjMUmzQCcUY/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
To strip the valve, first pop the rear grey cover off
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-mdhaSLfssG8/Vb48J8-T0wI/AAAAAAAApQs/G5pqCo_56TE/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Under there, you need to pull the little rubber/plastic bit off, there's a spring underneath so be careful
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-66BO_iyLmTo/Vb48LmHoG8I/AAAAAAAApQ0/mbKoUmrY8p0/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
It falls apart then
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WaHVBueVtok/Vb48NcpuPNI/AAAAAAAApQ8/Fw8cacd2Dco/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
I never normally do this either but a sharp tap with a hammer and broad torx bit releases the little yellow bit

and there we go, the DC04 is componentised. Rebuild pics coming soon!

You sir are a complete vandal :)) :tiphat:

Hehe thanks! There's always a job thats made easier with a hammer.
Anyhoo, re-assembly! So, it's all washed, you've sat down infront of the sweeney and polished all the marks off, and cleaned the rubbers and are now ready for reassembly.

I'm not reassembling this in the same order as the stripdown, I forgot I was going to write a thread, so followed my usual order of events
Which starts with the motor!
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VxO9u19BDuM/Vb48YgcRVWI/AAAAAAAApR0/PUIjn14-IKo/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
A light smear of grease around the inner of the motor housing greatly assists in the refitting of the motor
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0JcG2FccCYs/Vb48adczgEI/AAAAAAAApR8/JxcCvoRhPHI/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-llhG2rnRX8g/Vb48dyC8vmI/AAAAAAAApSM/Dja0Gtn4lR0/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
This lines up with these locating pegs inside the motor housing
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_2mbkYR9jQc/Vb48fR4bxnI/AAAAAAAApSU/M1uZ8dvygZo/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Fancase seal on
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-OER1bfBfbt0/Vb48g3GsIVI/AAAAAAAApSc/52ABIEr-O0M/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Refit the belt guard to the motor housing
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-zTQOccHmvz0/Vb49h2FaqqI/AAAAAAAApXs/wgTGJ6QOhgg/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Feed the cable into the motor housing
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3c0fCLlDmms/Vb48i3jGf5I/AAAAAAAApSk/jAjW7m_Vetc/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
and push it home, making sure the pegs hit the holes and it goes fully in, with the cable grommit protruding out as it should
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--rd1CncmRN4/Vb48k08CyPI/AAAAAAAApSs/iSvQQIaKU-M/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
The motor should protrude a bit

As the retaining ring
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-AESAXJvcNXs/Vb48ok1W2QI/AAAAAAAApS8/F-L873_dnak/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Holds it all in place!
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0kSBAfW30Qg/Vb48qidl5DI/AAAAAAAApTE/pS25UlZgk2k/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
The motor housing cover trim snaps back onto the motor housing
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-JHpBDK92bts/Vb48sWgv3XI/AAAAAAAApTM/ZOjURtGbBMw/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ncG4W1WMMy4/Vb48uJq9xZI/AAAAAAAApTU/SRdiL9J6bw4/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
You need the chassis now
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qqIAZh0kh6w/Vb48vpGR1ZI/AAAAAAAApTc/4yOoIsHotjY/s512-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
and this duct
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xxerwOjXhdc/Vb48yJffsJI/AAAAAAAApTk/w0t2uEJxZEo/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
The seal is a pain to get to stay on, and I wouldnt think any less of you if you glued it on in frustration, but it is doable. Once refitted, it should be snug, as the screw mounting locates onto the chassis in the correct way so the motor housing lines up
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-vlToin5knf4/Vb48z6AELrI/AAAAAAAApTs/ovQgvxc05dc/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
A smear of grease on the motor rubber helps here, as you need to slide the motor assembly into place and past the end of that duct
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-wEEkxi6EYA8/Vb481ublfcI/AAAAAAAApT0/1fCbEQak4Xg/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Feed the spine cable back into place and out of the top of the chassis

Changeover valve now
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-zMNscCqmLtk/Vb48-MhUMWI/AAAAAAAApUk/90IB9OapuOY/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Assembled as above, so the seal on and the black part slid into the grey part, it will go in. Insert the back lugs first, manouver the grey part under the chassis points and it should all snap into place.
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-YIjRxeKqjT0/Vb48_oDZaGI/AAAAAAAApUs/8TpjEwAyriE/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-UagM9pRokPs/Vb49CcXvEzI/AAAAAAAApU8/Y6V9VdbkcEQ/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
And then the seal. This is easier if you fit the top part first
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-C7wznScz0eM/Vb49DvIykkI/AAAAAAAApVE/v1pS1bBHXeM/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Then rotate the whole seal/circlip assembly carefully round and fit the now-top part too
Re-assemble the removeable part of the changeover valve now. Refit the seal to the bottom of the grey part
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-pEu49qvfskY/Vb49FCLOL-I/AAAAAAAApVM/L6JPZBus_5Q/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Refit the chunky spring
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-t0GNjWq-Tag/Vb49GdTi4lI/AAAAAAAApVU/XKhAvVZGH9c/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
and slide the 2 halves together. The bottom but has to be the right way round or it wont fit into the cleaner. You can offer it up off the machine to check before fitting, or just unclip and rotate it if incorrect

Next, grab a nice new post motor filter
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ZnsDPd8WfDE/Vb49OC9FuTI/AAAAAAAApWE/bjL8_RGyYVs/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-M5PGTp52hos/Vb49TT-R4II/AAAAAAAApWk/h-JFbQcdlHQ/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
then refit the housing, you need to pull both sides out again and drop over the pivot points. Fingers may be trapped, be prepared...
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-e0GjjHsYkQY/Vb49U5xKDHI/AAAAAAAApWs/Jfz51opBq2Q/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-s9Rmptv0mAE/Vb49bBYdLKI/AAAAAAAApXM/SLIVvX9Nbxs/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Fit the hose first to the changeover valve, then fit the brushroll housing to the cleaner head.

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--ZmL-ZwdZGI/Vb49gub72bI/AAAAAAAApiU/cnWePSuOxuw/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Next, grab the brushroll bearings we removed earlier, and using a small flatblade driver (or the switch removal tool), pop the black rings off either side of each bearing
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-goqJffCZEh0/Vb49lLtjb-I/AAAAAAAApX8/FSGK77n97kY/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Scrape out all the dried out grease, and re-pack with fresh

Pop the black caps back on, rotate it by hand to bed the grease in and re-assemble!

Make sure the edge bristles are at the same orientation, as they fit into the brushroll housing.
Fit the brushroll and belt to the housing
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-EE5_mKC2OaY/Vb49xCtbI0I/AAAAAAAApY0/3GXQvgAudcM/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
You now need to push/lift the belt over the motor spindle. It's do-able, but can be tough. Once done, rotate the brushroll by hand a few turns to centre the belt up everywhere.
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-6_z59xg2m0g/Vb49yzJjp5I/AAAAAAAApY8/w-nD57Zx_Ok/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)

Wire the mains cable back up to the chassis cable. If you offer the housing up to the chassis, the part that starts to get thicker needs to be above the hole in the chassis, so the thin park fits through the cutout for the cable grommit, then the whole thing pushes down. Offering the cable hodler up to the housing, and noting where the cables need to start from helps here.

Cyclone now! Fit the small seal to the top of the shroud
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-YTE0KaLTy8A/Vb4-KfB6p6I/AAAAAAAApa8/RzHYBZSVJU0/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Snap the shroud back onto the cone (its easier than getting it off!)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hgiqs3ZdxmE/Vb4-Lj4OBTI/AAAAAAAApbE/REhGGBRkcdE/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Release valve now. The all palstic little cap fits into the seal as below
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3twvyZzCITA/Vb4-MxZ0-SI/AAAAAAAApbM/e5--_VwoC9g/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
The black cage sits on top of this, and the spring sits inside, that little grey part stops the spring from coming out of the other side
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-tygGTTVpFD8/Vb4-OefnpbI/AAAAAAAApbU/3DmUUZUuroA/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
The rubber and plastic part snaps onto the middle and holds it all together
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ZNtm10frlwc/Vb4-ProlC_I/AAAAAAAApbc/-5gX36Vavpo/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Fit it back into the cyclone housing
Then drop the top cover on and snap into place
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-s16MJZ7jd1c/Vb4-SYxhIGI/AAAAAAAApic/npfQTAd7luY/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
If you removed the little yellow insert, re-fit it with a drop of glue now.
Inser the shroud and inner cone into the top housing, maning sure the screw holes line it. It should only go in one way, as there is a cut out for the release valve internally. Screw it up.
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-9oxKixGgoDo/Vb4-Tgyw0nI/AAAAAAAApb0/9g1lhwiWTSQ/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Refit the top housing to bin seal around the bottom of the housing
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-mZeiV22ERPs/Vb4-VNAtX7I/AAAAAAAApb8/bTg-JAnatXQ/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Time to fit the top handle of the cyclone now. The small spring does hold onto the release elever fairly well, so you dont have to worry about that falling off. Locate the pivot points and spring intheir little places, then hold it all down with your thumb on one hand
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-uFLE0MZlz4U/Vb4-WnL_FwI/AAAAAAAApcE/zJUmLqGUFg0/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
and then lower the handle down onto it all
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-CP9SK00Xl4w/Vb4-YSQyebI/AAAAAAAApcM/Lh5bz300GBM/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Fit the screws quickly to stop the spring popping everything back out again
Take your nicely washed filter, or a new one (or a previously washed one as I have here, with only mild staining...)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-e7c8wZsLCPM/Vb4-Z9qyaqI/AAAAAAAApcU/aTEJHHxxkds/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-fDstnR5B5Bc/Vb4-bihAp6I/AAAAAAAApcc/B6vsj3A7y5A/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Close the handle, and the top of the cyclone is done!
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-tz1NxdVL5xg/Vb4-c8gtXUI/AAAAAAAApck/N87sNP1BfH8/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Fit the lower seal to the bin insert
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-m_ivOILRbzY/Vb4-eOVkwxI/AAAAAAAApcs/Sjzrb1OSbiQ/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
then the top seal, ensuring it is pushed down properly. It 'snaps' into place in a rubbery sort of way
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-LfRsoZmoKOw/Vb4-f5-HblI/AAAAAAAApc0/Y-L8U4rSrYM/s800-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
You may need to moisten the lower seal to ensure it doesnt snag when you lower the inner into the bin now it's all clean and will grip the rubber. Ensure it's pushed in fully all the way round

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-H9ruY5RMt8M/Vb4-jFyN2OI/AAAAAAAApdE/c8yWZiwVBXM/s512-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Refit the cyclone
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-RYoNDw41G0Q/Vb4-kmtnNDI/AAAAAAAApdM/0HfgnDJxd58/s512-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
Grab your tools, or a new set if youve bought one
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-BTGQUxuJ_Ys/Vb4-mL0FmhI/AAAAAAAApdU/IN6XmOtEMNk/s512-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
And done, enjoy your as-new DC04!

And add it to the rest...

Very nice! Really detailed and I enjoyed reading it all, lol.
-
Nice job, just hope she appreciates all the hard work you put in :thumbsup:
-
Ah this is a selling one, she bought something else a while ago, despite me saying I would sort her out with a hose! Hey ho!
Had interest at £55, will see if it gets picked up in the week!
-
They'd be getting a bargain after what you've done to it, good luck with the sale.
-
That's the normal process. Could do that in 35 mins to stripped, 45 mins for washing and packing the airing cupboard, then another night 40 mins polishing it all and doing the seals, then 40 mins reassembling.
Takes a surprisingly large amount of time doing the photos and step by steps! Then 2 odd hours typing it all oit, copying the text snd links into word incase the session times out and I loose it all, having to chop it up due to the character limit and posting it!
-
So Clean, Great Work! . I noticed you put a DC01 video on YouTube. that sounds exactly like mine. :grinn:

Well this went last night! A chap who my girlfriend knows (she used to babysit his kids when they were younger, they dont remember her now) came round last night and part exchanged another DC04, which is also surprisingly clean and unfaded! Has a stupid aftermarket hose on that I want to change, but would need to dig some unclean ones out of the shed and get them washed, and not sure when I'll get the time to do that, so may just have to keep the pattern hose on..
So, £40 and this, deal done
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-upCSxP8prsM/VcnGMjoFpmI/AAAAAAAAp4k/OXJbDaHDST4/s512-Ic42/upload_-1.jpg)
I've already done a clutched DC04 rebuild thread, so wont be doing another one!

Is that the DC01 Standard that sounds very loud? If so, the base plate was catching on the belt slightly due to a broken screw fastner causing it to sit very slightly on the piss. Some quick stanley blade action had the offending peice removed and she is fairly silent once more!
Got a DC01 Absolute+ to do next, but want a new cleaner head and hepa filter for it before I start...
