Rather than use a screwdriver for belt removal & risk injury or machine damage, why not use the proper belt tool ?. It saves time & possible injury and is available for not much more than the cost of a decent quality flat head screwdriver.

What if its not the motor
Great guide! A useful tip for getting the motor (or specifically the rubber cover) into the motor case: smear some washing up liquid or liquid soap around the inside of the motor case, and the rubber will slip in a lot easier. Keep an eye nf the rotational position of the motor (so that it fits the hole at the axle end correctly), and make sure you don't trap the 2 power wires.
Great tutorial, replacement motor cost £12, Dyson now back up and working. Only issue I had was that when replacing the motor housing in the Hoover, make sure it fits into the bottom groove or else the screw hole on the brush clutch cover won't line up. You'll know it's not in the groove if you're having trouble with the screw. Just go back and under the four screws, lift out the motor housing and seat it in again, that'll sort it out.
