How do I get to the receivers for the prongs? They appear to be too loose to make a connection and i have not been able to get into the body to tighten. Is there another way to improve this connection?

Robert L Worthing -

Thank you for asking ifixit your 11/1018 question. I’ve been trying to disassemble the body to get at the receiver(s)/socket(s) for those prongs for days. And ifixit, please, have you got a picture of the routing of the brush motor wires from the motor through the rolling assembly, the swiveling universal joint, and along the back of the airtube?
