We don't have a video that details how to replace the strap of your K2 Winch like part # K2RASP8219, but I did speak to my contact at K2 and he gave me a brief description of the process.

On the winch there is a u-bolt that needs to get removed after feeding the strap all the way out. He said this is pretty obvious and easy to do. Next, there is a pin holding the strap to the spool. On the side of the winch there are a couple of holes. You will need to line the pin up with one of the holes so that it can be slid out. The pin is threaded so if you can find a long bolt or screw to thread down into the pin that will help you get it out. Or he mentioned using a set of vice grips.

On the plow side you will just need to remove the u-bolt to get the strap off of the plow. To install the new strap you will need to reverse the entire process.

The strap you need is the part # K2WS8020 that you referenced.

He said the install process will be very easy and not take very long.
