How to remove the brush roller from the eureka whirlwind big cup vacuum

SOURCE: How to change belt on Eureka Whirlwind

On the top cover, there are holes at the front on both sides, there is a screw on each side in one of the holes. Take the out, and the cover should come off, then you can get to the brush roll and belt.

very simple under all three screws in the front (two on sides and one in back) once open--you can take off that panel...take brush out...take old belt out...put new belt on..around brush..place both inside...and make sure belt is around that little pole thing towards the back close panel, replace screws

is there anything jammed underneath.can you turn the brush roller by hand.if not then take it back where you bought it.sounds like you have a defective brush roller

if the belt has been slipping it may have pollished the moteror brush shaft and it just slips. take a small piece of sand paper or enery cloth and ruffen up the shaft to give it some grip.
if the metal shaft of the motor has been heated up due to slippage it will take some doing to ruffun it as the shaft will be hardend due to heat

I tried the website for manuals but no luck. I called the toll-free # 1-800-282-2886 and got a rep right away. I gave him the model and s/n (lower bottom on the back side) and he walked me thru it. For the model I have, there are 3 screws to remove - With the vacuum upright and standing facing it - there is on on the right and one on the left of the bottom cover and one on the left side near the hose intake. Remove those to get to the belt. I ordered the belt with him too - althought the belts were cheap ($2.99 for 2) the shipping was $8. If this didnt help - call the 800# - they were great.
