2. Removed the hard plastic "fan" that shreds the leaves, etc. This required removing the plastic nut that holds it on, which I did using my socket set.
3. Put the new fan on after recycling the old one, screwing on a new plastic nut with my socket wrench.
4. Fit the old vacuum tube, which was not damaged, into the new clamshell housing and reassembled the clamshell using the original screws, which were all in excellent condition.
5. Cleaned off the old clamshell housing and put it into the recycling bin.
6. All done, literally as good as new, in about 20 minutes.
