Thank you very much Suzie, posting the exact information needed visually to boot is

just what I needed to replace my brush roller. Manuals usually frustrate me as well as over chatty

tutorials that get me lost.. Thanks again ! Happy Holidays ! Leigh Clement

Taking the thing apart is one thing, but identifying the part numbers (motor, belt, brush) to replace the old worn stuff is another. I haven't found the part numbers for these things (or the exploded parts view for the vacuum itself or either of the two power heads. Does anyone know whereabouts these things can be found?
