How to Replace the Spray Wand on a Ryobi Pressure Washer

Is water leaking from the spray wand on your pressure washer? You probably need to replace it. The spray wand attaches to the trigger handle, and the nozzles attach to the end of the spray wand. There are three common issues that will cause the wand to leak: The O-rings that seal the connections (between the trigger handle or the nozzle) can wear out. A crack in the plastic wand housing can cause a leak as well.

Let's get started.
