vacuum cleaner belt

I have a Eureka Express vacuum cleaner with a beater bar. I can't figure out how to take it apart to change the belt. It's a model 8274. The Eureka website doesn't recognise the model #!

It's a cannister with a power bearer at the end of the wand.

I got the belt changed. It looks like something they intended to have you bring in to a repair shop, however. There are 2 long screws in the bottom. When I took them out, I could remove the top of the beater bar/floor piece. It was still hard to get the new belt around the end of the bar and then stretch it over the shaft of the motor, but I managed.
Thanks for your suggestions.
