Tool Needed, flat head screwdriver (larger one works a little better). Serious Safety Precaution: Make sure unit is unplugged. Preliminary: Check: that nothing is caught like threads etc, preventing roller brush from turning. I've had this model vacuum 10 years and have pulled threads out countless times. However it still has the original belt on it. To change belt: 1.) There is a plastic plate underneath roller, towards front.. Pry the 3 tabs at front, the plate hinges downward slightly (to clear the front tabs). Next, there are 2 little clips at bottom of plate. Insert screw driver at each of these clips to fully release the plate the rest of the way. (Or it may even come off without having to pry back on these. The plastic clips need pushed towards front, to clear the ridge that catches towards the back). Pry one, then the other, clip forward, while gently pulling the plate the rest of the way out. (Gentle prying will assure it will snap back together OK, so you still get a good seal.) You now should see the whole roller brush. 2.) Remove the shell/motor cover: To do this, a.) pull off the rug height adjuster lever, and take not where you put it so you won't loose it. b.) push foot release down and keep vacuum bag in the vacuuming/hinged/operating position (not the upright/locked position), and position cleaner on it's side, or upside down. c. Pry around the bottom edge, starting at right corner, then go around, prying in about 4 different places. Shell/motor cover will now easily pull off (upward and out towards front), exposing motor shaft and light bulb. 3.) remove belt from motor shaft. 4. slide roller and old belt out the bottom. 5.) remove old and place new belt on roller 6.) slide roller back into place. 7.) wrap other end of belt on motor shaft. 8.) shell cover, rug height adjuster knob, and bottom plate snap back into place. check that roller turns without much effort. 9.) It now should be ready to plug in and vacuum.

I have same problem, somehow take top all apart, looks like allen screws holding bag container on, remove that, get to screws right underneath top shell, then get to motor pulley from above . be careful not to pull off motor pulley when wrapping other end of belt around brush underneath, or else you'd have to take top all apart again. Good luck.

http://www.vacshopusa.com/pdf/hu4253930.pdf Use this link to download a pdfd scehmatic for your model. This link is the site I got it from. http://www.vacshopusa.com/elite_%26_elite_ii.htm You may find more info there. Just from looking at the schematic, I would guess the bulb cover would pop off (carefully) and see what type of bulb it is. Remove it, take it with you to buy a replacement.

there are 4 tabs, 2 on each side. use a flat head screw driver to pry the top cover away from the bottom the clips are located close to the corners of the vacuum. after you have these clips removed, press the handle release to rotate the head up a little and the top cover will come off. (be careful not to loose your height adjustment button when you take the top off) let me know if you need any further assistance

I hope this helps.

Its actually for your height adjustment, take off head again and you will see in middle there is alittle grove that fits that piece precisely..let us know

Turn the machine over - locate the clamps that hold the cover on and open them. Fold the cover forward toward the front to expose the "belt alley". Lift the roller brush from its cradle. Place the new belt over the pulley on the brush and over the end of the motor. Put the brush back in the cradle. Replace the bottom and re-clamp the snaps.

You may want to clean the hair and string from the brush while you have it out.

Good luck

check the belt that turns the brush, it sometimes gets worn and looses friction, causing loss of spin.
