In this video Josh demonstrates how to replace the back upper housing on a Riccar Brilliance or Simplicity Synchrony Tandem Air. This requires a full tear down of the machine and is an extensive repair. This video is intended for authorized dealers and repair techs. Please watch this video all the way to the end, if you do not feel 100% confident in this repair please do not attempt. Many shops will not take a repair that's in pieces, especially of this magnitude.
