Hmmm, I suppose it could be the suppressor. When one of my Vax's did this I changed the motor and fitted my suppressor to the new motor and that worked fine.
So was my motor that had gone. Had a 1200W motor I think it was in briefly until I found another 900W one, was a right beast. Really got the cleaning solution through that washing head when vaxing lol. To get those handle bolts off, I sometimes use a pair of long nose pliers, it can chew the bolt up a little but it does work if you grip hard enough. I never tried but maybe a swan neck/ offset spanner may work. Once I used a socket on the end of a flexi drive coupler that I have in my screw driver set which kind of works although was awkward. |

Do they all go into the suppressor and come out again? Have to say I don't know about the lux. If you could pop some pictures up that would help, it took me a while to figure it out. Failing that, put a new thread up, with lots of pics and the Electrolux beards will help! |

after you get them out use a hacksaw to cut slots across the bolt head you can then use a slotted screwdriver instead of socket or pliers to put them back in place. |
