Thank you so much for this video! Some tips for newer models: there’s a single security torx screw on my model just outside of where the bottom part of this hose connects. Other posters mention 2, mine had one. Do not force the cover off, if it seems like there’s still a screw somewhere there is! My ring security screw bit worked perfectly (I *forgot* to replace the torx screw with no ill effects to the vacuum cleaner.) If it’s your first time replacing there is some glue on the inner part where the hose connects. Don’t pull, just unscrew, it will be tough at first but it comes apart with a little effort. Also- you “unscrew” this piece to the right! So don’t be like me whispering ‘lefty loosey, rightie tightie’ over in my head and wondering why it’s not budging. Finally, pay attention when putting the bottom part of the hose back in place- the plastic piece it connects to slopes on the bottom, if its wrong the brush cover will not snap back in place. (Look at the brush cover and the direction it slopes where it connects to this piece) There are two plastic pieces that jut out on the bottom plastic hose connector. The taller one goes on top and the shorter one fits into a hole on the underside. Finally, Mine seemed to be “missing” the same screw you mentioned, but I know I’ve never taken mine apart so go apologize to your kid/wife/or whoever you thought lost it:) Pro tip: the filter sets are cheap on Amazon, you may as well replace them too, your vacuum will work like new. Thanks again for taking the time to make this extremely helpful video!!

Yeah tearing into my NV683. Watched this video and was like hell that is simple enough.. started in on the unit and was just..... but why would you put a security bit on a vacuum! Frustrating. But thank you guys for addressing this.

That directions were perfect. I’m a 77-year-old woman and I did it! I drew a diagram of the bottom. There are 14 screws and three different sizes. When I finished, it was still screeching, so I had to take it apart again and put in a new belt which was more difficult than putting in the hose. It would’ve been nice if he would have included the directions of replacing a new belt. I did figure it out and now I have a brand new vacuum cleaner.

Awesome. I thought I was gonna have to spend $85 for a base on my shark rotator. I couldn't figure out why it kept clogging all of a sudden when I hardly ever had a suction problem before and then I noticed the lower hose was broke while I was cleaning hair and fuzz from the brush and unclogging it again. I bet once I fix that hose it'll stop clogging so much. DIY youtube videos have saved me so much time and money over the years.

Thank you so much for making this video!!! I was determined to fix my hose issues myself, but just could not figure how to remove the hose. I had taken out every single screw I could find, including the wheels 🙄. Finally in desperation I searched KZread, and your video showed up. So happy to report with your guidance, I got everything sorted out and repaired. It works like brand-new again with insane amounts of suction. You are awesome 👌

My hose split on my Shark UV795. I've had several Hoovers, Dysons and a Kirby and this is the best vacuum I've ever owned. Lord knows how long I've been vacuuming with a broke hose and spewing dirt and dust in my home. Was cleaning the filters and noticed the split hose. Went to a local vacuum repair shop and the owner gave me a hose for free. Just finished repairing it by watching your video. Thanks for the great instructions!

Dysons are crap aren't they. They clog up inside at the most inaccessible spot. I was always down the appliance repair shop with it. Sharks are a pleasure to use, easily steerable and so much lighter. I've just gotta replace the lower hose to get it going again. I may reinforce the new hose with gorilla tape in the hope it won't split so soon. No idea if it'll work, but anything is worth a try!

Thanks for explaining it all from step 1. The trickiest part is knowing if ALL the screws have gotta come out. Many videos start with it all in pieces, which is no use to me! My Jack Russell used to attack the vacuum, she'd actually grab hold of the head, lift it and drag it, pulling me across the room!! She hated it along with hairdryers or anything noisy. Teeth marks were etched into every vacuum appliance we owned! Nothing else wound her up, bar those things. 😂

Excellent video, thanks! I learned some additional things I didn't see here, so I'll pass them on. Some have been mentioned by others. (My model is a Shark Ninja NV680). -I drew a picture of the vacuum head on paper and taped my screws to where they went, as I took them off. Seems like every one is unique! There was even one tiny Philips head screw right in the middle of the underside. There was one screw in the middle, extreme forward position where the roller brush is. Even though I could remove the left and right screws up here, the middle one was underneath clear plastic. Couldn't figure that out so I left it. As a result, I could lift the hood up, but could not take it completely off. -There is a SPRING by the left wheel; it was hard to figure out where it went so that I could get everything closed up. Meanwhile, every time I tried, either the suction hose connector came loose, or the wiring going from the handle to the floor base would come out of it's channel. Once I laid everything down flat like in the video, I could get it all back together ok. -It doesn't say specifically here, but you need SECURITY Torx bits (aka hollow centers) to get these screws off! You can get a set online cheap. Mine used one size, T20. Get long ones. -I had trouble getting the old hose free from the rubber connector. It seems like it had been glued. So, I boiled some water in a pot, and soaked the end in there for 30 seconds--that loosened it up and it came off with brute force. --I also used petroleum jelly to help thread the new hose onto the end in the handle, and in to the rubber boot for the base. Worked great! -Lastly, as others mentioned, the hose is threaded backwards from what you'd expect, so righty tighty/lefty loosy does NOT work. Thread the new hose on COUNTERclockwise. Again, a great video! My vacuum works great again. Thank you!!!

Thanks a bunch! In case your hose was as badly cracked as mine was you can simply unravel it if you can’t unscrew it. My old was was literally hanging on by a thread when it came time to unscrew the old hose.

This video was excellent and inspired me to give it a shot (you gotta love the last scene where the vacuum passed the bowser test!) Replacing the torn hose was a piece of cake! Rather than buying a new hose for the Shark UV450, I took the recommendation from another KZread and removed the hose that comes with the hardwood floor cleaner attachment which I rarely if ever use. It fits PERFECTLY, and the vacuum works as good as new. I'm pretty pissed with Shark: I called Shark to inquire what size (diameter) hose I would need for the UV450 and they couldn't answer it! They also said they don't make replacement hoses and that the remedy is to buy a new vacuum! Well, I won't buy another Shark when this model finally bites the dust (so to speak) if they can't answer basic questions about their products. Thanks.

It's not that they won't answer it. They DON'T SELL IT! they force you to buy a new vacuum. Really ticked me off. Luckily people sell after market hose. You just have to find the right size even if they don't show the model, you can make it work.

Great video, may be mention. You may need starheaded screw drivers. Great price in B & M stores. 😊😊

Thorough without getting lost in the high grass, nicely done. Couldn't get the old hose to turn but you can cut it and pull it out by the wire reinforcing. Also later models have a couple of tabs to hold fitting on the lower end of the hose in place rather than the screw that somebody messed up on yours. This unit is a necessity with labs too.

Thanks for very informative video. I watched several before I found yours, which was the best, straight to the point. I have a HV301 and can't find the replacement hose. One repair shop told me I would have to make one because they are not available (????). I called the Shark customer service number and was told that I would have to pay $89 for a new motorized floor nozzle. My vacuum is 5 years old, so that was not about to happen. I found a shop that said he has had that part on backorder forever. He told me to bring it in and he would see what he could do. He found a hose that would fit. The part was $6 and $30 for the labor. It would have been better if I could have found the part and done it myself, but I was more than happy to pay $36 vs.$89 for floor nozzle or $160 for a new one.

Because it's the oem hose im replacing, it was glued into place, and I found just grabbing pliers and ripping it apart/out worked best. If you pull on the metal part of the hose, the plastic will rip and slowly unwind until it is all out.

We have the NV800 series and you can no longer screw the hose out as it’s glued so you need to pull it out. Then try and remove the hose from the rubber connectors and with it the glue. Then screwing the new hose back into the rubber connectors is a pain as the keep moving so you need to re glue them before trying to push the connector inside the stem as that is a massive pain. Thanks for the guide though helped a little!.

Thanks for your video. Just finished changing my lower hose on the nv752. Few notes for those who want to change theirs. Shark tries to screw the consumer and make it difficult to replace the hose. The screws on mine were torx security screws. Fortunately I have a Harbor Freight security bit set. My screws were T20 and T10. Additionally, one of the screws was recessed so much that the top of the bit was flush with the plastic housing meaning the bit sleeve couldn’t hold bit. Got around this by carefully counter boring the hole just enough so the sleeve had enough clearance to hold the bit. Result - Me 1, Shark 0.
