open up my dc05 dyson to change switch and power cord?

Hi there. Had to repair mine today as the cable snapped out of the drum and machine.

You prise the wheels off by using a big flatbladed screwdriver. Then undo the two torx screws that sit inder each of the wheels. Then you will need to undo the T-15 Torx screws on the body of the Dyson - one on the front and one on the back. (I had to buy a set of Torx drivers from my local car accessory store to reach far enough in to do this.) Then lift the front/top cover off and you have access to the cable drum, motor etc.

Hope this helps!
