I've had this in the shed for aaages, and found it the other day.


It didnt work too well, so lets have it apart and see if it can be perked up a bit

The rubber squeegee snaps out from underneath

Front wheels snap out

Undo the 5 screws holding the clear head on and it seperates into 3 sections

Crap shot, but the head wasnt too bad

This is the main turbine assembly

Brushroll twists off the axle holders

The non moveable side snaps off

The two bits that hold the brushroll on need to come off. A bearing puller is pretty essential tbh for this bit


The turbine assembly then comes apart this much

The axles are held in place with a spring clip on either side

The best way I found is to hold the plastic casing firmly, and tap the axle with a hammer until the spring clip gives

Using the puller again, slide the brass bearing bush off the axle

The spring and spring clip fall off now

The half of the turbine casing you tapped the axle out of first comes off now

More tappy tappy and the other spring clip releases its grip on the turbine casing

You should now be left with just the turbine casing

The brushroll on/off mechanism pops off the other side

the red part pops out of the silver part

The top of the turbine housing levers up and out, releasing the inner turbine and belt


On to the main housing parts now

The ends lever out and pop off, splitting the unit and releasing the hose

Some rubber bits come off

Little seal here


And it's as apart as it will get!

It was all washed and polished, then time to go back together.
Main seal back in. This is quite important to get it seated properly as its the main suction inlet to the whole thing


Rubbery bits back in

Main housing bits clipped together

Clip all the turbine bits back together with a drop of oil on all the moving parts

Slip the brass bushes and springs on the axles

and fit the airflow button

Brushrolls fitted

Take your freshly polished clear housing

and screw all 3 parts back together

Voila!


All done. Works MUCH better now, I attached it to my Hoover Galaxy which spun it up on the lowest setting right up to the highest.
Mods - feel free to put the part number for this head in the title, I have no idea what machine it came from, let alone what it fits (it fits the DC16, but that doesnt spin it up!)
