Introduction
The side brushes on the Shark ION Robot R75 channel debris towards the main brush so that it can be collected. Over time, these brushes will wear out, with the bristles becoming more flat and spread out, deceasing their ability to sweep up debris. If you notice that your robot vacuum is missing more debris than usual, especially in corners and tight to reach places, replacing the side brushes may restore the full cleaning potential of your vacuum. It is advised that you inspect the brushes regularly to determine their health and whether or not they should be replaced.
While they do indeed perform an important role, replacement of the side brushes is perhaps the easiest part to replace on the R75.

I have removed/lost my screw that went inside the side brush. Do you have screw size recommendation to replace it? Shark doesn't sell them and says the brush may fall off if I don't have my screw. Is it guaranteed that Phillips #1 Screwdriver would be able to remove screws? I have tried all types of screwdrivers and haven't found one to remove the other screw to take it to the store to find the right size to replace what I am missing.
