Wrapping things up
Now that everything's dry, I put the vacuum back together.
I replaced the belt with a new one; even though the brushroll was spinning at full speed, the old belt was a bit stretched, so it was time to replace it. I also put the new hose on.
Here are the "after" pics. The first one shows the new belt vs. the old belt.
