Try this site has pictures and diagrams on how to strip a dc04 and get it working.I only wish manufacturers did such a good site but they just want to make money out of you by sending an engineer.

Remove clutch as follows replace belts and replace
To remove the clutch from a dco4
1. Remove brush cover and then the roller. It will come out even if you do skin your knuckles.
2. Remove the cover of the brush control. Insert a small screwdriver under the indicator mark and release the catch. Do the same 180 degrees around the knob from underneath the machine.
3. Remove the wheels to give you more room. Unclip one of the hubcaps with a screwdriver and release holding clip and remove.
4. Next remove the black cover of the clutch and belts. There are 3 holding screws. Two are obvious and the third you have to get at through an already made hole in the casing nearest to the bottom edge. Then prise the casing out by inserting a larger screwdriver behind the casing were you took the third screw from. Don’t be faint hearted it will come out without breaking.
5. Unhitch belt from the main motor
6. Prise clutch assembly out with suitable tool it is now only press fitted in place.
7. Do NOT try to disassemble the clutch as one web site suggests at stage two

you can replace the belt fron the motor to the clutch just not the belt from the clutch to the brushes. To replace the motor belt undo to two screws that hold the end cap in place then rotate the end cap untill it comes out of the clip then slowly remove this so you can see the order of the internal parts.
replace belt and rebuild
