There right it is either 2 or 4 screws. I mean you need a trained professional with that.
To complicate that the bulb taking it out is a pushing or pulling (install,removal) almost a good half inch and then twisting bulb 45 degrees. You pray when you finally get screws installed during the process you didn't ruin filament in the bulb. I have heard if not wired correctly the bulb won't even work. Leave it to not just a Kirby professional. You want the best one there. Make sure he can walk and chew gum at the same time. That's how to know the best Kirby professional. I bet changing a belt and brushroll they need Kirby experts too. Those dang 70s vacuums just so confusing. I hope there is a Kirby professional nest you. Well that was a good one.
