The key is removing the gray top cover plate and then it is easy enough to figure out from there. Underneath on the black plate you put the brush into the furthest holes there are screws that are holding the front of the gray top plate. Remove the other black plate like a trapezoid shape on the bottom just by pulling down on the widest part. After removing that you will see four more screws in the clear part hidden deep in holes. Two are just in front of the wheels and then another two about an inch away going towards the brush part. From then it is just a matter of separating the body to be able to remove the part and replace.
