How do I remove the cover on the brush - Shark Rotator Professional Lift-Away Vacuum, NV502 - lift-away vacuum

Take off the brush cover. Gently grip the sock with your fingers or a pair of pliers.
Pull the sock out in the direction opposite to the rotation of the roller brush.
If the sock is tightly wedged, you may need to wiggle it back and forth while pulling..
After removal, check for damage. If the brush bristles are bent or worn, consider replacing the roller brush.
Reassemble and Test following the manual instructions.

Turn the unit upside down remove screws that hold the cover on over the beater brush. Remove the beater brush and replace the belt. One end will go on the one side or middle of the brush and the other to the motor pin. Replace cover and done.

Make sure it slides into position.

Lay vacuum on table or other surface on it's front.
Remove the 4-5 screws on the base plate.
There may be a rectangular hole on each side of the wheels. If so, insert a standard screwdriver and rotate gently to release latches.
Carefully hold the halves together and turn vacuum onto it's back.
Lifting from the back, remove the power nozzle cover.

If replacing the belt or brush, remove the screws located at each end of the brush. Lift brush out and remove belt.
You can no replace the belt, brush, or both. I also recommend giving the insides a good cleaning before reassembling. Make sure when you reassemble, insert the lip of the cover into the slot, then close the back. Some gentle manipulating may be necessary.

Good luck

Turn your vacuum over and remove 6 screws holding down the cover plate which has the roller brush under it. Remove cover plate and pull up on brush. Belt will come off with the brush. Put back together in reverse order with new belt.

I have a whispertone vacuum, different model #, but maybe instructions will be the same. Turns out I didn't need a new belt, just clean out the crud and reset overload protector. The instructions in the manual tell you to remove the light cover and bulb first. To do this, press in and lift both sides. Push in and turn bulb counterclockwise to remove. (you need to do this because the next step involves turning the unit over). This takes you to
Step 2. Unscrew the cover screws ( on either side of bulb).
Step 3. Turn unit over. To remove cover, insert screwdriver at cover tabs on both sides and twist to release tabs.
Step. 4 Turn unit right side up. Press handle release pedal and lower the swivel. Tilt cover forward from back until front snaps free.
Step 5. Carefully insert and twist screwdriver at each brush support to free brush from base.
Step 6. Remove worn belt.
Step 7. Slide brush supports off to check and clean brush support areas.

To replace belt: slide washers and brush supports onto brush assembly.
Install new belt over motor drive, then over brush sprocket.
Snap brush supports into place on base. Be sure brush supports are not upside down.
Line up front of cover and base. Rest cover on front edge of base. Tilt cover to back. Press cover firmly until side tabs snap into place. Replace cover screws, light bulb and light cover.
