Hi all.... I have an Electrolux Discovery II (1990? model) upright
with a broken brush belt.

I disassembled the head and removed the broken belt and got the
correct new belt.

Now I see unusual difficulty.

Of course I need to remove the brush roller and slip in the belt.

I took the two coarse self tapper screws around the bearing mounts
out.


Now I am lost...it looks like a wedge keeper in each side bearing cap
should be pulled. Needle nose or gas pliers. They do not move.

If you push the brush from the bottom..it does not pop the bearing
caps and break loose. If you push hard you bend and potentially break
the body.


I Googled for a schematic and can't find one. I cannot even find my
Model Number!! It is a Discovery II with a paper applique s/n
U24645E



can anybody give me some direction on removing that brush and /or the
bearing mounts?

thanks in advance for your time
