They are on the windings.  You know how all those metal segments cover the windings?  There are probably twenty of them.  Each of the segments has about a 1/8 inch gap between them.  Anyone of those gaps is where the tool is slid into.  The photo is a Rainbow armature, but a Kirby armature is the same.  When I rebuilt my first Kirby in that series, I had the same problem!  I had the tool, but I had no clue about how to use it.  I'd love to say that it was great skill and a keen mechanical mind that led to the discovery.  But it was purely by accident!  LOL!  Hope this helps!
