how do i dismantle my tristar vacuum?

I dropped it and I think a piece of plastic broke off and fell into the fan.

There are three screws that hold the shell together.
The rear (phillips) screws are in the rear wheel wells. The front screw is also accessed from the bottom, in the front where the power plugs in for the brush. After the screws are out, carefully split the case. The bumper might be pretty snug, holding the shell halves together. Once the front is loose, it should pop apart

This is how my CXL Tristar came apart.
