Hello all!


What are the best practices when removing an old rug nozzle gasket, and replacing it? In terms of:

-- The best way to remove the old rubber and adhesive

-- The best kind of adhesive to use

-- Tips on alignment, dry time, etc?


My Kirby Classic Omega (seen in this thread http://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?15209 ) is in need of one. The factory rebuild kind of botched that one aspect of the job and the gasket has shifted, resulting in significant rattling when in use. It's been over 2 years since the rebuild so I can't turn around and ask them to correct it anymore, and the gaskets are only a few bucks, so I figured I'd do it myself. Tips are appreciated.


Thank you!
