Brush Head Repair for Dyson DC65 - One side not spinning

- Is only one side of your Dyson Brush Head Spinning? If so, its probably the brush axle/gear that is broken. This video walks you through the replacement of the broken component of the brush head so you don't have to overspend on a brand new brush head.
Here's the link to the part I used, the price has definitely increased since I did this project!
www.ebay.com/itm/Dyson-DC41-D...
I left the gear drive housing together and drilled through the parts with 1/8" drill and tapped the holes for the bolt I used to hold the reassembled drive together. Ground the bolt head down till it fit in the brush drive cavity. Make sure to stay centered when drilling. If you fail, just buy the new gear assembly. Make sure you thread the bolt in from the side that will "tighten" if a brush would jam. That way, you do not need a nut on the bolt and it just needs to be long enough to reach the far cavity.
This issue happens all the time on my Dyson Ball vacuum. The spindle axle should not brake/shear this way, especially on a high-end brand such as Dyson, this easily. Dyson's first mistake was making design/engineering decision to use plastic as the material for this part instead of metal. This alone is a justification to stay clear of these specific models of Dyson product.
Thanks for the video. Currently that part was listed at $50. The whole cleaner head assembly was $89 from Dyson, so I went that route instead.
That part cost 60$ now. I can buy a used powerhead for the same price. Ridiculous
I'd pin the part comment to the top, or put the link in the description. However danngg $50 for the spindle!!! You can get the whole replacement head for $100. Woof.
This part is built to be broken :)
Great video! I ran into exactly the same issue. But I tried the Dyson service store first, they replaced a new vacuum head for free...I recommend to try them first before to do the diy based of this video!
Many thanks for the excellent video, very helpful. I had ordered the replacement gear, but was stuck trying to get the housing open to replace it. All fixed and running now. Much appreciated.
Hey Dan... Where did you find the replacement part? Been looking and can't find anything other that the whole powerhead.
Parts on both links below are out of stock, does anyone have a viable source?
I bought off the link and followed the video. Perfect! works like new again. Thanks to you and the eBay seller, who was super helpful!
Yes thank you for creating this video, mine broke and I almost ordered the spindles ONLY not realizing that the gear behind is the one you need to replace along with a new belt. Very informative
Thanks! You've save me about $100. You looked to be doing this real time, so my hats off to you. To help others, at
Great tutorial, saved me from buying a new cleaning head. Thanks for a great video!

OMG...THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO because I have been driving my self nuts trying to figure out what is supposed to be what....and what is wrong and how to get it all apart!!! I have the exact same problem...and no manual. I never would have been able to put it all back together without your video...BUT.....I am still stuck at the part, that I forgot, how to connect the two parts back together and there is a lighter gray half circle clip maybe that I have off from some place and can't remember where that goes and how. I did not see one in your video. It either goes on the main vacuum part or the main brush part somewhere where the two meet.
AWSOME video!
Thanks same problem I just ran into.
Thank you, this video saved me a few £!
excellent video and excellent master , thank you very much ......
