How to Replace a Karcher Pressure Washer Hose (K2,K3,K4,K5,K6,K7)

Last Saturday morning I was setting up all my detailing gear for the usual weekend clean of the TTRS. Just as I was ready to go, I turned on my Karcher pressure washer to give the car a pre-rinse before I started the snow foam process.
