Is there a secret to get the heads off this unit? I've had the hardest time pulling the heads off. I don't think they twist on, or do they?

If you are speaking of the brush head, once you have the screws out just pull straight out. The belt is tight. I found the answer to the noise(if that is what you are doing) is to take and trim or carefully file to remove that small bit that may be rubbing. You have to do it running to keep it true. Once I trimmed the noise maker this unit has proven it is money well spent

Mine is very easy. Just put on and pull off. No twisting. I even bought one for my daughter.

I found mine was hard to get off too, but when I took a firm hold of the top and just pulled strongly on the head, it came directly off, straight up. You have to show it who's the boss. (smile)

I had the same problem, so much that I broke my first one. I thought it was something that I did wrong.

I'm having the same problem. I've read a couple of other reviews that stated the same.

Mine just pulls off, no twisting or clicking or anything, wondering if you bought the same kind, other brands may not have the exact size heads where they fit on the unit

I had the same issue. You just have to twist them pretty hard to the degree you need.

You have to pull the head off , They can get stuck because of toothpaste / gel !

They are not one solid piece but the heads don't come off either. (At least mine haven't yet.) They must be glued on it something. The heads of mine aren't loose at all or act like they want to come off.

You need to pop off the pads that go against the sife of your head. If memory serves there is a slot to use a small flathead screwdriver to pop them off. It took me a couple times to hget the hang of it.

mine is really loose and just pulls apart. They look like they're supposed to be twisted together but mine i just push the wide angle off with my thumb. Sorry, can't be of much help, but try pushing it!

Use needle nose pliers and pull out, I also used Phillips screw driver to push out from the back. They work great!

No, there isn't a trick haha. Mine really snap shut pretty hard so it takes a little strength to get them open but I never had a problem. Good luck.

There is a weight that is attaached to the output hose that helps pulling the head. You must, howevcer, gemtly push the head back into the slot.

You just have to pull straight up on the head. The whole thing should come off all the way down to the colored ring. Sometimes they are hard to pull off because of dried up toothpaste and stuff inside....

Jayne, the first time my wife tried taking the canister off she couldn't get it turned either. Once I removed it and snapped it back in place a few times she was then able to remove it herself. I hold the vacuum handle in my left hand, with the snout pointing away from my body, grab the canister with my right hand and turn it left, or counter-clockwise. It only moves about an inch and then you pull it towards the front of the vacuum - towards the snout -to remove it. Hope this helps.

I'm having a hard time too...the housing is actually cracking and I still haven't gotten them apart :( EDIT: I ended up taking out the two screws on the back of the remote (disassembling the remote in the process) to get it detached. The seam on the remote is getting caught on the seam on the base...maybe a few times detaching and re-attaching will smooth it out.

Sounds like its defective, ours is tight (it was to be for waterproofing) but not unreasonably hard to get off. Perhaps try a pair of pliers?

Hello, gently twist the device counter-clockwise. If it doesn't move the retaining screw has been tightened. On the left-hand side there is a rubber cover. Lift up the bottom and you should find a phillips head screw underneath. Back out that screw a couple of turns and the device should twist off.

I had this problem in the beginning when i first got mine. All of the parts twist and the black thing inside... sorry i don't know what it is called but that could be a little difficult to get out it took me a little bit the first couple of times. Try twisting until it fully comes off. I think you twist to the right to get the parts off and to the left to lock them but not 100%.

I used some pliers. They are very tight. I had to tare off a chunk of it and keep pulling on it until it finally came off. Good luck.

Agreed that you really have to turn them tightly. However if using them in slick mud, the mud will hold them solidly so they twist loose as you pull them out.
