If it's like the older cloth hoses here in the States the handle rides on an insert and is held in place by a metal ring that you can wedge a small screwdriver under and pop out. The machine end doesn't come off, it's held on by an insert that is expanded at the factory. The Electrolux dealers use to have a tool to repair the hose but I haven't seen one of those.
Good Luck with the hose. | ||

I've tried and tried to remove the metal ring on two different hoses' handgrips with several different sizes of screwdrivers but was unsuccessful. I'd appreciate some tips. | ||

You can cut the hose, pull the wire reinforcement and chunks of hose out of the machine end and you will be left with the outer coupling and a metal tube that held the hose in the coupling. You will not be able to shorten the hose and put it back in the machine end with the metal insert. You may be able to glue the hose into the machine end depending on how far you cut the hose back as the hose tapers going from larger at the machine end to small at the nozzle end.
I think Electrolux still sells a non electric hose for the older machines or at least they did a few years back (2007). Like I said in the previous post Electrolux use to have a tool to repair hoses, I've seen pictures of it but have never seen one in person. Outside of the tool you would also need the blank metal inserts that the tool expands to hold the hose in place. | ||

I wouldn't advise putting a splice INSIDE the hose, as that will restrict the airflow.
If you are looking for an authentic woven replacement hose, those should be plentiful.
If you are looking for A replacement that is functional, you can certainly find a new vynil or plastic hose.
Woven hoses are not easy to re-use. Believe me, I've tried. It's tedious work. CLICK HERE TO GO TO delaneymeegan's LINK on eBay | ||
