Please don't tell me I have to replace the swivel....

water is coming out of the hole at the bottom of my surface cleaner.
When I put my finger over the hole, it finds it way through cracks.

There's a little o ring (#14) way up in the top of the swivel that needs to be replaced.
 
how would I go about accessing that?
here's a couple pics of the top of my swivel

You have to pull the snap ring off the bottom and take everything out that way. Once you get the main stem and all it's pieces out, you'll see a small round piece in the bottom of the hole with a shiny brown to black ring on it. You have to pull it to access the o ring on the back end of it. DO NOT scratch the shiny part...it's a ceramic seal. If it gets scratched, it'll leak.
 
hey russ, at about 40 seconds into this video... is that the o-ring you're talking about?

It's alright, he's got 9 others that work just fine. Who needs to count to ten anyways?

Moving your hand in front of the spray out of the spray bar nozzles, even for a second can shave skin off your hand or arm easily, an accident can happen at any time or if you try to spin the spray bar when it is stuck is best without the flow going through it. Always be careful.
 
You can just remove the swivel and send it to Russ and he can take care of it for you if you want him to.
 
its ok guys, I barely had the ball valve open when I put my finger over the hole, just enough to get water to come out.
Good looking out though.
Russ, you would really fix it for me?
Brought it to a shop here and they said they don't even know if the can fix it because they don't carry that brand, they haven't even gotten around to looking at it yet.
awesome

Jeremy, use the video as a reference. If you still have issues, see if Russ will take it.

I suppose I could.
Kinda nervous but hey, I've never not been able to figure something out if I'm determined and it will save me money down the road if and when it fails again.

It's really not that bad. As long as you have a pair of snap ring plyers to remove the snap ring itself the rest is pretty easy.
