Flip the belt lifter to "belt on". then, take the nozzle plate and open it up- then the brushroll should just pop right out. | ||

Umm
You guys, I think he knows how to change a belt or a brush roll. ;p What he is asking about is the stage AFTER that, where the rug plate that retains the brush is loose and flopping about, if you will, but still attached to the head by hinges at the rear of the rug plate, and he wants to completely remove the assembly from the nozzle.
In that case, I just use needle nose pliers and carefully bend the hinge tabs and ease the plate off. Then i just do the reverse to put it back on, with no need whatsoever for rivets, but it is up to you. | ||

could you live with leaving the plate in? i have a 505 and havent really looked to see what it would take, but sometimes your better off working around something, coming from expiriance restoring antique fans. | ||
