Hi

I have purchased a pair of new Dyson belts for my Dyson DC04 and have taken it all apart. When it came to the clutch I took off the yellow cap and removed the clutch complete. After removing 2 screws in the end I was able to replace the one belt situated at the end ok, but for the life of me I am unable to see how I am supposed to take the clutch apart in order to fit the belt round the white wheel in the centre.

Any advice would be very much apreciated before I throw the thing out of the window!!!

Impossible I'm affraid

If that belt is damaged, then you need a new clutch!

I managed to fit a new clutch (well new to me got it of ebay) but it was a real bugger, the hardest thing was geting the casing back to gether you needed at least 4 hands some the size of a 1 year old. took about 90 minutes to do it.

Madrat/Gegsy,

I have a DC14 with a noisy clutch. Tried to figure out how to remove the outside know so I could pull clutch but no luck. How do you remove the clutch??

As far as I can remember I removed the outer cassing (allan key things)and the clutch outer knob (the colourd bit by carfully prying it off) then ther was a bit of plastic covering the belt this was eather held on by the outer casing or 2 screws I cant remember now??? the cluth unit was held in with screws I remember that much. If yours has auto brush height thingy you have to pop the pivating bit off, it then snaps back into place. putting it back together is the hard part I did it in front of the TV while 8 legged freeks was on and it took me all that time to do it. Mine was a DCO4 so they might be differant.

to fit the other belt you remove the plastic sticker on the other end of the clutch from the one you have fitted then you will see a circlip remove this and you will be able to srip the clutch and replace the belt if you can get one? then just reasemble the whole thing and refit the unit

hope this helps
