Where to attach eureka 8852 spring - Eureka Capture Upright Vacuum Vacuum

Lonny,
I have a 71-B2 model myself and if you can take a picture of the spring, I can try to take mine apart and see if I can figure out where your spring goes and get back with you.

sure would like to know that answer myself does anyone know how to put the spring back i am about to lose my ever loving mind

In your owners manual there is a Customer Service number. Call that number and see if they have a spring for your unit. My mother-in-law has a Eureka bag upright. It's over thirty years old and still has the spring. What happened to yours that you need another one? I'm kidding with you. Call Customer Service.

You need to replace it. Here is a link to the belt you need and the manual which has instructions:

The Eureka central vacuums generally have standard inlets. You can use any brand with what you have. The most important thing you will need to decide on is electric vs non-electric. The brands attachments I would recommend are Imperium, Beam, and Centec. The Eureka attachments aren't bad, they just don't give you as many options.

go to abcvacuum.com they should have the parts you need. If they don't i am sure they can tell you where to go.

Yes the metal spring is used to pivot one of the rollers in that area.

You would need to take it apart one more time and check to see if any of the roller travel up or down while you press it with your fingers. look to the edge on either side for a place to attach the end of a spring. then a place on the chassis to add the other end of the spring. Then redo the belt.

look up inside where the wheels go and you will see a open notch clip the spring in there and on the wheel assembly itself oon the inside you will see a holeclip the other end of the spring to that .your done

There should be a place easily for the wheel assy to fit back in and then if you look you should see 2 small holes in the bottom of the vacuum that it will slip into. If your looking at the vacuum straight they should be on the left side on the bottom.
