HEPA Filter Conversion for DYSON V7, V8 Cordless Battery Powered Vacuum - Replace Foam Filter SV11

My refurbished Dyson V7 cordless vacuum did not have the HEPA post-motor filter. I thought it was strange that it only came with the standard foam filter because it was the Absolute set, which is the nicest Dyson set. Fortunately, there is a third-party solution available that replaces the foam filter with a sealed adapter for the HEPA filter. The kit includes both the adapter and the filter and works with either the Dyson V7 or Dyson V8 cordless battery-powered vacuum cleaners. The problem is how do you remove the original foam filter? In the video, I show 3 different ways to remove the standard foam filter. It&difficult because you need a thin piece of plastic to wedge between the motor and filter housing, and pry of the filter without damaging anything. Using a metal tool would be easiest, but it will damage the plastic. I used old gift cards to wedge between the motor housing and filter. trusting the gift cards caused the filter housing to come off with such uncontrolled speed that it&easy to slip and cut yourself on the motor housing. I recommend wedging the card in between, and using the card as a shield for the motor housing, slip a flat screwdriver between the card and filter, and pry of the filter with the screwdriver. #vacuum The products shown here were purchased by me with the intent to use them.
