I removed the screws but still won't come off.
There probably are some plastic tabs holding it in place, (much like a laptop computer case) You'll need a couple thin screw drivers to carefully release those
There are also several screws in the bottom plate, near the edges that hold the covers (+5 in the backside near the top) It takes a "star" driver to remove the screws correctly. Then pry and pull gently and the back cover will come off.
For the "thread-path" cover, pry gently at the top and then work the right side loose. (it just snaps on).
To get the front cover off, there are 2 large "Torx" (I remembered the name of the "star" screws) at the top after the main bsck comes off. To get the back of the "arm " off,, it takes lots of gentle pulling, prying and patience. It has to come off to get the front off. I discovered the "thread path" cover does not need to come off. When yopu get the back of the arm cover off, carefully pry the embrodery connector out (it is easy to pull the ground wire out of the scocket, so probably loosen it from the frame to be safe.
6 screws in the back cover and 1 in the freearm cover. Hope no one pried gently without removing all of the screws. Now, if you remove the front cover it is very easy to damage the connector on the touch screen when removing it from the main circuit board. If yours has a narrow, tan cable, you probably won't have a problem. If it is a wide green cable it is very easy to destroy the cable and you will need to replace the touch screen. They are available from an authorized dealer for around $200.
The danger with the narrow tan cable is when you reinstall the front cover. You need to make sure that this longer cable does not get crimped when installing the front cover, breaking the conductors inside, requiring it to be replaced. Come to think of it, just take it to an authorized dealer. A DIY job on this machine can make a $100 repair into a $400 repair really quick. Why risk that with a $4500 to $6500 machine?
Because a little field mouse got into mine and the dealer won’t touch it. So I need to figure out how to get inside to clean it.

Hi, to remove the handwheel on a Viking 6440 you just need to take two screw drivers, one on each side, and gently pry the handwheel off. Nothing else is keeping it attached. Many of these are just stuck a bit and need gentle prying.
Good luck.

If the bobbin winder spindle is loose and flopping around in the opening in the front of the machine is has come out of the frame that it should be mounted in. Operating the machine with loose parts inside can be risky for the machine and the operator.
Don't take a chance on causing further damage to the machine. The bobbin winder can be replaced without too much trouble and is relatively inexpensive.

The threading may be out of the channels. Rethread. Put in a fresh needle. Make sure you are using an embroidery needle and a new one for each new project. You can't use YLI bobbin thread. It stinks. If all this doesn't help, take it in to be checked These work great when there is not thread stuck in the bobbin case and it is threaded properly. If all is well, it will go like gangbusters.
