Introduction

What you need

Step 1

              Removing the Side Brush

  • Set the screw aside and pull the brush out.

Step 2

              Bottom Panel Removal
  • Unscrew the four screws that hold the bottom panel using the Phillips 02 screwdriver.
  • The screws will not come out of the bottom panel. They were designed to become loose but not be removed. This prevents you from losing them, and prevents the Roomba from sucking them up if they came out during cleaning.
  • Once you are sure that all the screws have been loosened as much as possible, then lift the bottom panel up off the Roomba.

              Caster Wheel

Alternate instructions.

  1. skip steps 1 and 2. you don’t need to take the panel off to remove the caster wheel.

  2. follow steps 3 and 4.

Hi, my caster wheel drops out easiy from the groves… a bit like the groves are worn out already and are no longer able to hold the wheel metal spoke in place. I would like to know if this can be fixed without resorting to buying a new wheel? (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) Please help?
