I have replaced the fan in all 3 of my Kirbys with no problems. D50, G3, and Sentria.
What vacuums do you HATE to work on...

Alex, I only caught shrapnel once, I'm just so glad that it did not come from a cheap explosive plastic vac! I'm sure I would've gotten the green rot and that would've been all she wrote! I'd be sighing off for another broadcast day and they wouldn't be singing " Oh, say can you see " but they would playing Taps as a dirge for my requiem...softly, sadly.

The only time I ever had problems taking vacuums apart was when I would neglect to inspect for hidden screws and would swear more in 5 minutes than most people do in their life as to why the cleaner wouldn't come apart. My fault of course for not being more patient and looking more carefully.
Nobody has mentioned Fantoms as vacuums sometimes questioned as not being worth putting back together. I came close a couple times with those.

You don't need an engineering degree to work on a Fantom! I find them fun to rebuild at times!

I think if you know what you are doing no vacuum will be hard to work on, Just frustrating.
I hate working on big commercial wet& dry vacuums and scrubbers that have been used in the floor stripping and sealing industry. The chemicals they use ( especially in the Concrete and tile resurfacing industry) can be very corrosive They rust bolts and screws shut. a Simple 20 min job now takes 90 min because of having to cut out bolts that are not easy to access. Its not hard its just time consuming and in my workshop that means money consuming.
Carpet washers are also machines I dislike working on because people leave the water in them its goes moldy , They often smell and are normally full of fatty deposits they lift off carpets. Not hard but YUCK
