Introduction

The side brush is the three-pronged brush that peers out from the side of the Xiaomi Roborock S5 robot vacuum as it cleans. Sometimes lint, hair, or other debris can become jammed in the brush. Or, the brush itself can become damaged. In either scenario, you will need to know how to remove and replace this vital piece of your Roborock. Luckily, it's a quick fix!

Before you begin, power off your device.

Sounds simple however the captive screw is jammed on my Pure S6 and will not loosen!
