Well, I just took the Bissell upholstery attachment apart. There were no springs to pop out but a gear that Karen had to find for me. It is now fixed but do not expect it to last very long. The vacuum motor was stuck and it is in molded plastic. I was able to get a little triflow to help free it. That thing is quite interesting. On the side of the vacuum motor is a gear about 3/8 inch then the one that I lost about 3/4 inch on one side and a 1/4 inch gear molded to it. The 3/4 mates with the motor and the 1/4 mates with one about 1 1/4 inch. There is about a 1 inch that is molded to the large one and a toothed belt goes from the 1 inch gear to the brush. The only access to any internal parts is to replace the belt. It is definitely a very interesting setup. --- Please visit my home page; it is motivational, inspirational and humorous with many resources for the blind. http://www.lennymchugh.com Lenny Please Copy and Paste into New Message to pass along.
