Sounds like you have a DC01. After undoing the 3 screws that secure the sole plate, the belt and brush bar will come off in your hand. There is no need to remove the other part that you are describing. Anyway, to remove that, you need to prize it free from the end furthest from the belt then it should come away (with the head tipped fully down).
