The hole in the armature is just behind the ventilating fan and YES you have to get the fan off before you can get to the screws in the bearing plate to take it off and pull the armature out.
You can use the Kirby tool or an ice pick. I use 1/8" piano wire that I get at the hardware store. By the way the air is sucked in through the back leg where the two rear wheels are and blown out the vent at the front, so if you blow compressed air up from underneath the back it might send some of the fuzz out the front vent or some may come out the switch opening. Have fun | ||
