I usually uscrew the sidebrush, and take a pocket knife and scrape at the hairs. Between my fingers, the pocket knife, and tweezers, I can get most of them out. I find that, as long as most of the hair is out of the assembly, there isn't a problem.

I wish there wasn't such a problem with them getting so clogged!

I use a little bit of hair remover (NAIR) or something like that

Is there a way to get that brass part off :?:

I agree with you on taking it apart it being a pain, but it seems to be the only way to clean.
