The nuts are factory crimped. Squeeze the crimp several times on opposite sides into a 'rounder' tube with vicegrips (for the lever action that multiplies your control over jaw pressure) and you'll be able to pull the wires out. Replace with more sensible home consumer threaded nuts. Available in several sizes at Home Depot, etc, I'd use the small gray size for a positive lock unless there are 3 wires to gang together in which case go to the next blue size. Note that the wire gauge (thickness) is much narrower than lamp cord or house wiring, thus small nuts. Good luck, Bobby, tho you won't need it. Just patience and and it's a slamdunk. Dave |

Fate did not choose the wrong passion Bobby, I have been tinkering with vacuums and anything else thet comes apart sence I could grip a screwdriver and Im still learning.Like Dave said Patience. Once you get thru this one the next one will be a snap. Also I tend to cut those nuts off of Hoovers as close to the wire end as I can then like Dave replace with blue or gray wire nuts ;). Kenny |

OMG after working all night and shopping and gardening,I sit down with my dinner and read Do you want me to include two of the yellow wire nuts they don't sell them individually,I almost choked on my food.Sorry the mind kinda goes to the gutter after being tired.Bobby youre so a MAN if you want to send me your two nuts Ill take em If not I got two of my own lol. OK sorry guys.Seriously tho I have some around and as far as the wand leaning forward this id normal for Hoover they all do,and the cord Gromet what I do to get those suckers out is from the inside squeeze the smaller section and bigger section together with needle nose and push out, careful of your other hand. Call me if you need any help if you see this. I should still be up for about an hr. and i wake up about 9pm 401-996-1948. K P.s. Please don't take offense to me laughing Im crazed with sleep deprivation lol. |
