Hoover WindTunnel - Difficult to Replace Brush Roll?

16 years ago

I have an older model Hoover WindTunnel (Model 6445) that I plan to send with my college-age daughter as she moves into an apartment. It has not been used in several years but otherwise just needs to be cleaned up and have some routine maintenance done. A local vacuum dealer looked at it, but his charge to clean it up (excluding any parts) started at $50, so I decided to see how much I could do myself. I have already replaced the belt and the filters and am considering whether to replace the brush roll since the dealer mentioned that it should probably be replaced soon. A replacement brush roll is not too expensive, but I don't know if this is an easy DIY project. Are there good reasons to have it done by a professional? Thanks for any advice.
