Bosch Exxcel 1400 motor brushes

[mikephillips]

Grateful for expert help here!

Trying to replace these - there is a multi-pin yellow connector block which stops my removing one of the brushes. It looks as if I need to remove the block, but I am reluctant to put too much force on it - how do I get the brush out?

Not specific to your make but usually easier to remove motor from drum.

This is with the motor on the bench. I can see no way to move the block. The problem I have is that only the top part of the yellow block (the part with the wires passing through) came off which I suspect is bad news. I cannot find any way to release the lower main part of the yellow block.

As the model is not shown, this is a suggestion that maybe the block is part of the brush assembly itself?

Aha! I have entered the topic 'Bosch Exxcell 1400 on each post but it does not show!
