Replacing Engine Vacuum Hoses!
I Got this set of 4 sizes of silicone vacuum hoses off Amazon.com. Here is how I replaced the 17 year old rubber hoses in my car.
Replacing the Brake Vacuum Hose.
Using my birdbeak pliers I removed the spring clamps and took off the hose for the master booster cylinder. The second biggest Size vacuum hose is what I used to reinstate the vacuum connection complete with tbolt clamps on either end.
Replacing the Fuel Pressure Regulator Hose.
The thin vacuum hose to the fuel pressure regulator was easy to remove and replace with the appropriate size silicone hose. I put tbolt clamps as well here too.
Replacing the Radiator Reservoir Bottle Hoses.
Just for good measure I did the same to the radiator Coolant reservoir. Silicone is high temperature tolerant and resistant to corrosion. It is however very easy to cut so in the future I will be careful around any of my new silicone hoses.
