Disassembling a JE Adams Shampoo/Spot Brush

[OurTown]

How do you disassemble one of these brush heads?

I removed the two larger screws on the brush that hold it to the body and I was able to pull it out only a little bit. I tried to remove the two smaller screws that are near the center of the brush and they just spin so there must be nuts on the other side. There are what look like two pieces of white nylon that are attached together with two (that I can see) small socket head cap screws. After removing those it still won't come apart. Now I can't even put it back together and I can see that after messing with it so much that the tubing is kinked.

The smaller screws hold the plastic block to the brush. There aren't nuts on the other side as far as I can recall, the screws should just thread into the plastic. They might be stripped. With all the screws out of the brush it should come off.

I'll try to pry on it while unscrewing them.

Had same issues with colemans vis a vis trying to replace switch. Finally decided to bypass switch inside unit until hose failed then replaced the whole thing.

If you're disassembling it to replace the switch, DO NOT work with the wires with the power on. I did once thinking it's just low voltage, it won't hurt me, but it fried the control board and Adams doesn't repair them. It's something around $600.

The power is off and the entire assembly is out to replace the decals. There is no control board on this one. It has a rotary switch and controlled by the Dixmor LED9. The reason for disassembly is that the handle and the hose strain relief nut is loose. I can't seem to get those two smaller screws out of the brush even if I put tension on it get them to grab or just pull out. They do not spin very freely and feels like there are nuts on the other side.

It sounds like a completely different unit than the newer one I worked on - there may be nuts on the back side. You should be able to push/pull enough slack on the tubing and wires to get the brush to tilt out and see if there are nuts on the back.
