Dirt finder sensor removal

[vacsofprosper]

Hi everyone. Does anyone know how to remove the dirt finder sensor part off from a Hoover dirt finder self propelled? I'm refurbishing it today. Thank you.

I already got it. I just had to pull it off gently.

Do you have a photo of what it looks like? I've always wondered what they looked like. Some people say it's a laser, some say it's a tiny microphone.

Huskyvacs, is this the photo you like to see?

Such an interesting device

Always wondered how those sensors work and thought they were kinda cool!
