Thank you for posting this video. I have a Dyson DC07 that has a rip in the hose after 15 years. I am definitely going this route before looking into replacement parts.
Just did the same job on my DC19 vacuum. The threaded collar is slightly different but basically it’s the same setup. Mine doesn’t have the steel wire through the hose, it’s ribbed moulded plastic which luckily split at the hold handle, so I only lost two inches of hose. The hardest part was removing the remaining hose from the collar which was jammed in firmly. At first I thought the collar was glued to the hose but it looks like the collar is mated to the hose with some heat during manufacture. I thought of using super glue when reassembling but it wasn’t necessary. If the new part of the hose is cut finely enough it fits snugly into the threaded collar. Just remember to put the clip ring on the hose, clips towards the handle slots before reassembling! And, try not to drag the vacuum around buy the handle only as the supplied hose breaks due to fatigue.
Its a bit of a different connection on the DC24 but I was able to pry out the old connection to the rubber boot and seal the good hose back in place, you just saved me 40.00, thank you sir!
I actually tapped the screwdriver into the tabs with a hammer until it popped open. Using a ton of force by hand with a screwdriver usually results in slipping and cutting my hands. I just fixed both of my Dysons with this video. Thanks!
Thankyou sir, very helpful. I have now fixed mine. Had to buy a wirecutter cost £2.75. Got a nice little cut on my finger in the process with the screwdriver whilst trying to prize it apart. Well worth the damage though. Not all heroes wear capes!
Thanks for this, had my DC41 for a couple of years, for some reason the hose just would engage with the hadle and fit back together (no obstructions) I followed this method, cut 1" off the top of the hose, put back together now fits fine.
Thanks very much this was a fantastic help to repairing the hose I would suggest running the plastic clip piece under the hot water to soften and make the clips a bit easier to get off and on great help thankyou
Initially before this I was nervous & wondering if I could even take it apart without permanently damaging my expensive vacuum so thanks! Great video brother! There’s only one thing that’s got me confused & it’s why there are so many people who downvoted... Thanks again
I did it ! Getting those little black buttons was hard as hell . Since the hose was already ripped just finished the job & stuck a flat screwdriver from the inside
Push the flathead from under the grey ring & between the black retaining wing and twist it, then pull down. 100x easier than trying to press the tabs in.
TIP- How i removed the black plastic with the two side buttons. Using a pointy steak knife, flat head, hammer. 1. Cut off the hose with a cutter so you are left with just the top piece. 2. From the outside, stick the pointy knife into one of the side button. The tip of knife will slide down the side wall and prevent the black button from locking. Hold the knife in place vertically. 3. Now put the top piece with knife still in it on a hard surface. 4. with the flat head screw driver, from the inside, place it onto the black plastic (same side where the knife is) and lightly pound with a hammer downward. I took pix, but can't upload it here. The other methods mentioned here did not work for me. Good luck.
This trick was fabulous. I didn't need a hammer, I just used the screwdriver to kind of pull it in and down. It literally took 30 seconds and it was out with no damage to the any of the pieces. Thanks!
The retainers were stuck on mine, it happens. I predicted that I could stab my finger while trying to depress the tabs. That worked and I drew blood. It may sound like a terrible patch, but if you can't get it apart easily, suture it with some thin workable wire, then after you have sutured it every half-inch along the laceration and into the intact area, pull it out use the duct tape to seal. Shove it back in so you don't see the duct tape.
how do I get the connector out. I tried to push on it with a flat head, then tryed agian after running hot water over, then banged the flat head in with a hammer, then weged a screw driver in between the sides. The screw driver went through part of the wall on both sides. How do I get it out?
Try a flat screwdriver between the hose and plastic end. you will need to get the screwdriver between the black and gray plastic, and carefully pry apart.
It is very difficult to press the two black tabs inside to release the tube. Flathead is what i used. A lot of force is required but eventually you will do it. What i have done is lost the springs that make the locking button for the attachment work. Keep an eye for them as i have only just realised they must have popped out when reading the response from Hannah below. A lot of force is also required to push it back in. Make sure all excess is trimmed away with pliers. I will search the kitchen floor and inside the hoover for the springs tonight!
EASY WAY TO REMOVE THE INNER PART: Cut off the damaged hose and remove it from the end connector. Remove all remnants of hose from the connector. Working from the hose-end of the connector, insert a very small flathead screwdriver between the black inner piece and the outer piece. Insert it parallel to the axis of the hose and aligned with one of the nibs. This will separate the inner piece and the outer piece and allow the nib on the inner piece to clear the lip on the outer piece. While leaving this screwdriver in place, use another flathead screwdriver to pry on the nib, pushing it toward the open end of where the hose connects. When one side is free, carefully do the same to the other side.
This was helpful however my husband about severed his finger with a flathead in the process, I ended up having to use a heat tool to melt the tabs a little then popped it out, it would be helpful to also mention that one should be mindful of the tiny springs that make the locking button for the attachment work, because if those somehow pop out then you have to fix that too, which I did, twice..
I know this is a late reply, but it can help those looking to reattach the two springs that belong to the purple connector. Replace the purple ring. Follow the inside of the ring halfway around (3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions) and find a space that looks like a small rectangle. The springs lie parallel in that space. One end touches the purple ring, the other end touches the gray.
He said in the video, after he pushed the two clips in he then had to gently pry out the piece with a flat head screwdriver. There's probably an easier way so as not to, as he said," bugger it up a bit".
HAHA... YES...!!!!!!!! That's the step I'm having the issue with and the SOLE reason I searched for a video on how to accomplish it... but, he doesn't record that part...
@@hnchmen34 put it in a pyrex bowl of boiling water for as few secs, that will give a bit of flex to the plastic.... mind your hands though...it's HOT !
Let me just get up on the soap box here to say that I had my original hose for over a decade. After it tore, I replaced it with a genuine Dyson hose and d*mn thing tore in less than a year. I am on my 3rd replacement hose and I'm pissed. These things are total pieces of crap. OK done b*tching. I stumbled across this video and another one an Irish guy did. I didn't find this video particularly helpful because the parts I needed help with were not in the video. I could see that trying to record those segments with no help would be a challenge though because you need 2 hands to work on the hose. That said, the comment below by "Cy a" is what enabled me to get those black tabs out without damaging anything. I had the hose replaced in no time. So I'd just like to give a big "f-you" to Dyson and their crappy replacement parts. I will keep doing this until I don't have enough hose left to keep doing it. Lord knows the stupid thing is going to tear again in a few months!
Useful video, but why the hell don't the people making these things write it down or practice it first? All the pausing and umming and arrring drives me bonkers. But on the plus side, it does give me something to moan about.
