Twist and PULL at the same time. One side is pressed on - not threaded. I just looked at the pictures of mine disassembled. | ||

Oh - make sure you know which end come from where so it is reassembled correctly. I marked mine with a sharpie. | ||

I finally got it apart by pulling and twisting the end pieces. One end is just pressed into the long shaft running the length of the roll. Was amazed at how much hair was imbedded around the bearings. Lubed with some Remington gun oil and spins like new again....thanks everyone | ||

Can anyone shed light on how to reinstall brush roll ? All I have is two long screws to fit the roll, is this all you use or am I missing some additional parts ? | ||
