Introduction
This is a step by step guide that will teach you how to replace the motor in the Shark Rocket HV381. Make sure that you dissemble the roller, brush, wheels, and LED since any of these can cause trouble during the removal of the motor.
What you need

On the right-bottom of the body, pull down the black switch. You will hear an audible click when you detach the body from the vacuum head.

On the top of the vacuum head is two grey "Brush Roller Access" buttons. Simultaneously press both buttons to eject the Roller Cover. Remove the Roller Cover by pulling it towards you and up.

On the top of the vacuum head, to the tight of the 'Brush Roller Access' buttons, locate the two screws parallel to each other. Using the T15 to unscrew these two, lift up the panel by the flap as shown.

Using the T10 screwdriver, unscrew the three screws as shown in the picture. It is important that you take your time to unscrew all three at the same pace. We found that increments of half a turn worked best.

The decision to unclip the wires from the motherboard or remove the blue device doesn't matter on order. Complete both steps before proceeding.

Set the freed motherboard off to the side, but take note of the wires connected to the motherboard. On the bottom of the vacuum head, while you should have removed these four screws while dissembling the wheels double check then remove the panel. Doing this will expose the engine. Using your fingers and the flat head, push the blue piece forward.
