Genuine spare part suitable for select models of Dyson vacuum cleaners
does the outer green knob come with clutch unit, if not how do you the knob off without breaking it. unable to remove clutch unit through casing 3 Answers
- Yes it does come off, just tilt to the side & use a screwdriver to hold the clip off then tilt the other side, its difficult, be patient.
- it is held on by two "y" clips on the knob be careful when you ease them off.
- The outer knob is not present with the assy. You need to remove the one on the cleaner, this is a snap fit at two points. Slide a thin screwdriver in and lift the snap fit lugs to remove
Does the clutch assembly come with both belts as shown. When re attaching belt onto brush roller do i need a special tool to stretch the belt over.
- yes it is supplied with both belts , i fitted the belt over the roller then reinserted the far end of the roller bar into the caseing then using a certain amount of force located the end nearest the belt.
- yes both are fitted
- The clutch assembly has both belts fitted. The brush belt can be fitted without the special tool but it is difficult. You can hook the belt with a screwdriver shaft and pull it up but you have to have very strong fingers and a high pain threshold. Be very carefull or you might break something. If you can get hold of the belt tool then use it. If i was to do it again i would make up a tool or buy one as there is a risk of damaging the roll, the casing or my fingers. Take care.
- Don't, it's fiddly and in the end your better off buying the clutch than just the belts. I bought the belts for my clutch, what a pain to take apart and put back together.

See our video: How to replace a Dyson clutch for how to remove the clutch.
Vacuumed is 10 years old. Not picking up on carpets. Good suction on hand held. How do I know if it needs a new clutch ?

You would need to access the clutch to check if it's physically working, also check the belt in case it has broken.
In the video it refers to a torx set that is needed to work on the dc04 to remove various bits can you please tell me the item code of the torx set that I need to order when ordering the new clutch , thanks Andy 1 Answer

If you look at the third image of Stock Number: ES104123 you can make out where it attaches with three screws to the motor body. Identify and remove the third screw and you should be able to remove this.
Have watched you excellent videos, and the removal of the brush housing looks simple. However, the one on my cleaner is firmly stuck. It moves of course, but I cannot see a way to release it from the main body. Is there a catch that needs to be released?

From memory the brush housing just clips in place but can take a reasonable amount of pressure to remove it.

Remove hoses filters and bag or container and run for a few minutes. If there is a burning smell present and the cleaner is getting hot it may need another motor. If it runs ok see our video: http://www.espares.co.uk/advice/4/1506/do-you-have-a-smelly-vacuum

The roller is meant to disengage when the cleaner is in the upright or parked position. There is a large cylinder type knob on the left when viewed from the front that twists to engage or disengage the roller as the unit is parked.
I am trying to change the clutch on a DE STIJL, I am having difficulty in removing the Brush Roll Housing. It doesn't 'just pop out' as Matt says on the video. Can anyone advise, please? I've been at it for over an hour now.so am desperately needing help 1 Answer
I have also tried prising it off with a screwdriver as advised on another website, but only succeeded in cracking the plastic on the vacuum cleaner body!
- I'll answer my own question. My Dyson is about 12 years old and as it has never been serviced or needed any attention (well done Dyson) the brushroll housing had seized up in its socket. A squirt of WD40 helped the situation, but I would advise patience to give the WD40 time to work. I was impatientand although it released the brushroll housing a small peice of the socket broke off. Hopefully it'll go back OK!!!!
Will this part fit my appliance?
