Thank you - mine was leaking too from the same crack. I had replaced the o-ring, thinking that was the issue, and the clip wasnt holding either. But after fixing both those issues, I saw the crack, and found your video. I couldnt work out how to remove the clip until I saw your video - I tapped mine out with a thin nail and a hammer. Thanks mate - but its shocking that the K4 has this issue - mine is about 18 months old. You'd think Karcher would use better quality parts than this.

New 'back foot' arrived this afternoon and fitted in minutes. Tight fit but persistence paid off as well as a bit of hep with a wooden peg to knock the elbow into the body of the machine. Thank you!

Ryan Clarke the pin has a narrow part to it, that is the bit that keeps the hose on, it’s a really silly design because you can push the pin in too far and usually you would push a pin as far in as possible but that particular pin has a certain place it grasps the hose if you get what I mean

Thanks for a very useful video! The Amazon link in the video description is showing the part as currently unavailable but I found that Googling "karcher back foot" and the official part number of 9.002-437.0 found me find a few places selling it. I found the cheapest for a genuine Karcher part that was definitely in stock, with price inc delivery, was eBay (for UK delivery). Just ordered one for just over £17 inc delivery as my refurbished K4 Full Control just had the 'hose comes off in use' problem after 18 months of ownership.. and I haven't used it that much since purchase.

Thanks for the video. I actually took my whole washer apart to then realise it was the elbow joint leaking. Wierdly mine already has the metal elbow and it was never replaced before. However it's leaking from male end. I actually don't think it's going in fully or I have a dodgy o ring. Can't see any physical fault with the elbow itself. I've ordered an o ring kit in the first instance to see if that will fix it. I would really like to see a picture of the elbow connected to the male end to see how far it's supposed to go in. If anyone can point me in the right direction for that, I will be very grateful. Thanks.
