The DC14 replacement stretch hose will be delivered in the generic iron version that matches the steel gray found on all Dyson vacuums (COLOR will differ from photo). No tools required, simply depress the release on both ends of the vacuum hose and it will release from the "U" tube at the bottom of the vacuum, and pull free from the wand.
