Parts Used
Used a hex driver tip to fit the inside of the old inlet tube. Used a 3/8" wrench to loosen the old part. It must have been tighten by machine cause it took a 3" extension on the wrench to get some leverage. Once loosen I inserted the new inlet tube which came assembled except for the o-ring. Retighten and added a rubber hose washer to prevent water leak. Turned on the pressure washer. No leaks and worked like new. I used it for about 20-30 minutes to clean my concrete driveway.
I have a Homelite 2700 PSI gas powered Pressure Washer with a Brigg & Straton engine.
I am satisfied with the eReplacement inlet tube part and their service. In my Internet search for the inlet tube, eReplacement kept coming up as the Homelite genuine part replacement.
