Vax Power 8 - Stripdown, Refurbish and Repair!

Image
Hello! Apologies for the lack of updates, I've been through a house move, parenthood of a 2 year old and long hours at work for a long time now! I've still been plucking away at the vacuum cleaners! The latest is this Vax Power 8. Bought for £4, it has no tools sadly, and was completely blocked solid, took me 20 minutes after getting it home to clear it out! And then I stripped it down...  First off was the hose  Then the centre wheels  which were split down  Brushroll cover off next. The belt looks new, it obviously did not have much use before blocking solid and being replaced!  The internal suction channel was removed next  followed by the clear perspex cover Furniture guard fell off next  and the reclining switch popped out with some force the elaborate hinge clamps come out next  and the machien split into 2. Wheels can now be removed  and it's onto the cyclone  The inner cyclone is shown here. The top red part
