Replacement for Dyson Handheld Cordless Blue Cyclone Clip & Spring DC30 DC31 DC34 DC35 DC44 DC45 DC56 DC57 Catch

Watched a fitting utube clip to discover you need to sand down the ridges on the locating pins and lubricate to clip in. It was very stiff and I was worried I would break something but just sanded a bit more off with very fine paper.and pressed down till it worked.Does the job well still a little stiff and does not have the writing on that the original did but the main thing is it holds the vac together as it should.

Difficult to fit but once in works well.

This worked well but did need a little filing on the clip to fit

Fits my Dyson DC35 unit perfectly. The spring took some force to fit into the circular holder in the clip. It's quite difficult to fit into the motor unit; I put one side in the recess hole and then had to bend the opposite tab by pressing down with a lot of force using a screwdriver to get it to clip in.Clips works fine once fitted.

Worked really well - bit of a struggle to get it in place, but the youtube video really helps

Arrived on time and seems to be satisfactory qualityit's one of the odd features of life that for a small spare part to be made available to the public it is inevitably has to be very expensiveit cannot cost more than 5p for manufacture?It's nice that it is available but the price seems to be very high for what you getI thought I was going to have a stroke fitting the thingit requires a tool like a screwdriver to ease the finger into the slot and its hard workI managed to get it fitted without scratching the machine too muchin operation it seems to be very stiff and doesn't rock up and down very easilyI squirted a little wd40 into the sides and maybe that will make it easier to rotateit seems to be holding the 2 parts together and I now have a working vacuum cleaner-so in that sense it seems to have fulfilled its functionbut - don't get me started on the dc35!

This was surprisingly cheaper than I thought it would be knowing Dyson parts prices. Difficult to fit, needs lots of careful pressure but made an unusable product as new. Thank you.

It requires a lot of downward pressure and a bit of washing up liquid as lubricant, but eventually got there.The spring doesn't fit either, so luckily I had the old one from the broken clip still.
