Yep, this fixed it. Didn't know you could remove the bearings, was absolutely horrified at how much hair there was wrapped around the shaft lol Thanks, iRobot!
@ 46 seconds you're putting the square end into the hex socket. Edit: The dark green one has 2 hex ends. The smaller one goes into the grey socket as the video shows. A bit confusing but I hope this comment helps others who have tried to get the grey hex end into the grey socket.
What they don't show here is that over time hair can get INSIDE the brushes, between the shaft and the outer rubber. This hair is almost inaccessible and very difficult to remove. If you find your Roomba keeps throwing this error after you've cleaned out all the debris you can find then simply changing out the brushes for new ones will often fix the problem.
How about instead of a video, you add some adhesive between the brush bearing and the rubber so debris can’t get in there? Come on, these things are almost $40 a set. I’ve had 3 generations of Roomba and this has been a problem with all of them. If you have a shedding dog, which makes you vacuum daily and therefore an ideal customer for Roomba, you are constantly having issues with these brushes.

I was going to post this exact comment lol
Yep, think I am going to knit a sweater.
UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Wait what the end pieces...THEY POP OFF? Well let's see OH MY GOD THE HUMANITY
this is a nightmare, I can’t get the light green one back in. I far preferred my old, far cheaper Roomba, this one has persistent issues
Yep. In the video, it appears to just pop back in. In the real world I spin it for 5 minutes and it never pops in on the left side. 🤔
really? :O@@mikeclifford9366
found enough hair in there to make another dog

Thank you!
You are the savior!
Thanks! My e6 had been giving an error 2 even after I cleaned the outsides of the brushes; after I cleaned under the caps that hasn’t happened since.

How do you get the bearings out. The one on the dark green roller won’t come out.
Same question!
Can we wash these brushes?
Do I have to unplug the base first?
J'ai un défaut de "brosse à nettoyer" à 1min 40sec de fonctionnement, mais tout est parfaitement propre
it has only one edge sweeping brush?
I can’t get the whirling brush corner cleaner unscrewed. This should be easier to clean.
Why is it often so dang hard to fit the rollers back in? Grrrrr!
