    • Set the screw aside and pull the brush out.

    • Unscrew the four screws that hold the bottom panel using the Phillips 02 screwdriver.

    • The screws will not come out of the bottom panel. They were designed to become loose but not be removed. This prevents you from losing them, and prevents the Roomba from sucking them up if they came out during cleaning.

    • Once you are sure that all the screws have been loosened as much as possible, then lift the bottom panel up off the Roomba.

    • Remove the screw on top of the housing. The small plastic piece should come right off.

    • Carefully pry open the gear box by inserting a flat head screwdriver in the slot on the end of the box. This might be difficult and require some wiggling of the screwdriver.

    • The cover should come right off.

In step 4, the screw on top of the housing has an unusual head. It's similar to a Phillips screw, but it only has 3 grooves. A small flat blade screw driver can unscrew it.

When you pry off the cover of the gear box, some gears may pop out, so do this on a work surface where they won't get lost.

You may find that the brush has stopped rotating because the inside of the gear box is full of lint.

They can be found at Amazon/Ebay, but they ain’t cheap.

Those gears look like a pretty standard set, but need some kind of spec or part # to replace
