This guide shows how you can easily replace the hose and swivel on your Easy P40-P60.
There are three options covered in this guide:

While the guide itself doesn’t involve many steps, each one is described in detail to make the process as easy as possible for you – and to ensure the best possible result. We recommend reading through all the steps before you begin, so you fully understand the procedure and have the necessary tools ready.
