I wanted to join the two tubes. That was easy. Then I wanted to un join them. I pressed the two clips, and discovered that Kriptonite is a soft metal. Its compared with the metal the clips are made of. I tried to separate the tubes for a long time, and I was done. So, in an act desperation, I grabbed one the tubes in one hand, and the other tube in the other hand and made as if I was trying to snap a stick of wood in half. Suddenly, "Ping" and the job was done. We've had the vacuum cleaner for ages.
Such a replacement part is not available online that I've seen. You would have to order a completely new replacement attachment, and they are not cheap. Type in your make and model online, and you should be able to come up with several ordering options. My vacuum cleaner is a Eureka canister. Eureka may also make other brands as well.
If you do this, you're not actually breaking it more than it was already broken; you're snapping off the latch cover. Which can be snapped back on. I've been doing this (snapping it off and on) for months now, but I'm tired of that, so I'm looking to buy a replacement attachment (or just the collar, if possible).
What if there's no attachment but it's just stuck? I can't pull it out.
Can not pull apart one won from the other
@@charllenestrickland8665 I have two pieces stuck together too and I can't get them apart for the life of me.
Thanks! helped a lot with Samsung!
What about vacuum attachments that don’t have a latch??

I have exactly this problem with exactly this part. But I'm having a heck of a time finding any place online to order a replacement. Any hints?

I don’t have a latch on mine. Help!
Now put a clip in its place. Sorted.
Thank you for this video. I was about to force the attachment off mine and destroy the whole thing. This saved my Hoover
Excellent! Glad this was helpful!
Doesn't work on Dyson. There is no cover to pry off. It is integrated into the vacuum body.
Not very helpful ; most attachments do not have a latch !
Mine do, wish I 'd known this, then.
