iRobot has been manufacturing the Roomba sweeping robot since 2002! They have manufactured multiple variants and even a line of mopping robots. My Roomba has been cleaning up dog hair and a truly obscene amount of sand that has seemingly no origin point since 2014!

Unscrew the screw, pull brush off, throw both in trash and spit on them!

Unscrew four screws on the bottom of the Roomba, they will not come out, just loosen them! Remove the bottom panel of the Roomba.

Unscrew the two screws on either side of the motor! Pull on motor till it comes out! Dispose of!

The motor will slide right into the empty position, it is super easy. However you will need to remove the new brush from the motor so as to reinstall the bottom plate. After that reinstall the bottom plate then the brush again.
