    • Slide the plastic opening tool to the left, remaining under the black cover, until two left side pins have been detached. Then slide the plastic opening tool to the right until two right side pins have been detached.

    • Grab the two clips near the front of the black cover, on in front of each wheel. Pull the clips away from the wheels.

    I needed to replace the left drive wheel on a SR20J9250U model. It is largely the same and many parts have VR9000H stamped on them. I will add any differences as I see them.

    For this step, there are three clips plus the clip in front of the wheel on each side. First clip is approx 6 cm from the centre at the back. Next is approx 11cm from the first clip and the third is 11 cm from the second clip (almost above the wheel). Then there is the clip in front of each wheel that you can see.

Thank you for the usefull instructions. The problem was the wheel engine broken. I’ve been surprised that it was not brushless. Now I will try to fix it. Have a nice time

Thank you for your instructions. I open it up and clean the left wheel decoder by blowing air thru it. Put it back and it run as new. Thank you again.

The instruction worked out great, however there were two flat rubber pieces that fell out of the vacuum during the disassembly. Any idea where they came from? The vacuum worked great for two days, but now it’s not charging any more. I’m wondering if the rubber pieces, which I left out, had something to do with it.
