Hello Denis, Thank you for the question. Very sorry, we do not have a video at this time for the lever. Here are some instructions from a previous customer that has installed the Lever. 1. Remove two screws holding case surrounding the lever release. 2. Remove the lever release by prying out with small screwdriver, a little pressure is required and another set of hands to help. One set of hands with small screwdriver to slightly spread the case holding the lever and the other set of hands to pop the lever out. A little pressure is necessary. 3. Snap new lever in place. 4. Replace the cover and the screws. We hope this helps!

Parts Used
I popped off the wheel to give me a little extra working space. Turn the unit upside down. Insert a small screwdriver on each side of the plastic tabs that allows the release lever to pivot and hold it in place. Pry on the plastic tabs just enough to clear and have a second person pull the lever out from the top side. After removing the old broken lever, the new one can be pushed in from the top. You will hear a clicking sound when it snaps into place. No tools required to install the new lever.

Lever that holds vacuum upright broke

Medium
Time
15-30 minutes
Tools Used
Screwdriver, Pliers, Ice pick(s)

The difficult part is getting the old one out. Turn the vacuum over and observe the bottom of the lever mechanism. There are two tabs that must be pried away from the latch mechanism. Careful study will reveal the process. You might also use two long finishing nails to both pry and hold each tab away from the latch do one side and then carefully the other the mechanism will now pull free at the top. The new one simply inserts and pops into place.

Replacing old filter is pretty much self explanatory.
Used flat blade screwdriver to pry out old lever by turning vacuum upside down and depressing tabs that hold foot pedal in place. Slide out old pedal. Install new pedal by sliding it down gently into place until it clicks in place.
