SPECIAL TOOL(S)

  1. Measure the length of the damaged area of the mini-tube vacuum hose.
  2. Cut a piece of standard 1/8 inch inner diameter vacuum hose approximately 25 mm (1 inch longer than the damaged area of the mini-tube vacuum hose).
  3. Cut off the mini-tube vacuum hose on each side of the damaged area.
  4. Dip the mini-tube hose ends in commercially available paint thinner containing Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) . This solvent will seal the mini-tube in the vacuum hose.

  1. Insert the ends of the mini-tube vacuum hose approximately 9 mm (3/8 inch ) into the ends of the standard 1/8 inch repair vacuum hose section.
  2. Shake the repair joint after assembly to make sure the solvent is dispersed and the vacuum line is not plugged.
  3. Test the system for a vacuum leak in the repair area.
    • Use the Vacuum Tester or equivalent.
