Not as hard as it seems,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dyson DC07/DC14 Clutch Assembly #900252-04 - Genuine
After 5 years of good service, my DC07 brush just stopped spinning. At first, I thought, no problem, just buy a new belt. Not with the Dyson. After a lot of research, when I found that you had to replace this clutch assembly, I seriously thought about just buying a new vac, but figured - wth - for (...) or so I'll give it a shot. There is a beautiful step-by-step instruction procedure on an Internet site which specializes in giving repair advice on Dyson vacs. The whole process took about 40 minutes, not counting the time I needed to go out and get a T-15 Torx screwdriver, which is absolutely essential to the process (make sure you have one of these before you start. Just be patient, follow the instructions, and you can do it.
My problem was caused by accumulated cat hair which the person (unnamed) who used the Dyson didn't take the time to simply clean out of the brushbar after each use. This built-up mess eventually causes the brush to be harder to turn, which heats up the belts and stretches them to the point that they don't have enough friction to spin the brushbar anymore. Probably could have gotten away with just replacing the belts, but you have to take the clutch out to do that, and for the additional few dollars it makes sense to replace the clutch as well. It was also a good opportunity to thoroughly clean all of the parts which had to be removed. In retrospect, I'm glad I did this complicated, but not at all difficult task, as I now have what amounts to a good-as-new vac for (...). As long as you clean the filters as directed and exercise common sense in maintaining this machine, I can't see why it won't last for a long while.

Clutch,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dyson DC07/DC14 Clutch Assembly #900252-04 - Genuine
Needed to replace the old clutch because hair & lint bunged up one end of the brush and made it hard to turn, which caused the old clutch to burn out. From what I've read, the clutches seem to be a common replacement item for these otherwise excellent vacuums (hence deducting a star from the rating). It comes exactly as pictured, with new belts and all. There is no reason to get the belts Amazon suggests in the "Frequently bought together" panel.
Replacing the clutch is straight forward if you understand how to take the cleaner apart, which is not obvious. I found a couple videos on You Tube that walk you through the process. The only tricky part is getting the new belt around the brush bar. Dyson apparently makes a tool for this, but if you have a helper (and some patience) it can be done with a long screwdriver to stretch the belt while the other works the brush in. Also, the repair videos recommend a Torx T15 screwdriver to remove the screws for the clutch. The screws are cut such that a long 2.5mm Allen wrench will also fit. The latter I already had, saving me a trip to the hardware store for a one-off tool.

Crazy Ratchet Noise from Your Vacuum Cleaner - Here's the part you need.,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dyson DC07/DC14 Clutch Assembly #900252-04 - Genuine
This is the part that goes out on Dyson vacuum cleaners, at least the DC07 and DC14 models.
When the vacuum cleaner starts making a really loud ratcheting noise on the carpet setting, unplug the vacuum, flip it over, look at the beater bar (there are three quarter turn screws at the bottom of the beater bar cover), and remove the balled up hair string, and other wonderful things. If the vacuum still makes the awful ratcheting sound, then it's time for a new clutch. This is the part. There is a fantastic ten minute video that shows exactly how to replace this part. When you get to YouTube enter this in the search field: Replace Dyson Clutch & Belts DC04. Watch the video, if you think you can do the job, and then order the part. If it looks too complicated, take your vacuum down to the repair shop and pay them to do the job. This is not a very difficult job; most people that are pretty handy could do this repair. There is no need to purchase the custom belt replacer tool in the video. It is possible to replace the belt with a long screw driver, a bit of physics, and twisting and turning the beater bar. The key is to get the end piece inside the belt, then turn the beater bar to roll the belt all the way to the pulley location. You must have a long (longer than 6 inches) number 15 Torx screw driver. Here is a suggestion: GearWrench 80086 18-Inch Long Torx Screwdriver T-15 - oddly I had one of these for disassembling a Macintosh SE/30 a long time ago. Removing the Carpet / Bare Floor button is a little tricky. Pay close attention to that step in the video, it might be easy to ruin that cap. It took me about 20 minutes to replace my clutch. The vacuum cleaner now works perfectly. The original clutch lasted about five or six years. I wouldn't even think about, or bother with, trying to fix the clutch or replacing only the drive belts. There isn't that much money to be saved and you still have to take the darn old one out of the vacuum, the hardest job.
