Those are put on by Kirby, they do not screw on. It is just a stem and Kirby turned over the front plate with the nozzle lock in at and smashes the back of the screw flat. You can buy one if you know how to do it, I took mine in as it was brand new under warranty and Kirby ordered a new fan case with the screw already on it and sealed it to my fan case.

You should buy a fan since you are taking front cover off and maybe change carbon brushes.
Here is a YouTube video the kid is maybe 10 but ive watched quite a few videos on how to change carbon brushes. The kid does it fastest and most efficient i have seen. So drop extra 20 bucks get fan and carbon brushes ic your machine ran good before it will run amazing after. Just saying might as well do now instead of later since your taking front assembly off.
