Default when I replaced mine I needed 2 new clamps

There are 3 hoses and for some reason only one has a screw type clamp. The 2 you need are for the small nipple one and one medium one.

I went and bought screw clamps at home depot and they work fine. The dealer game me new crimp clamps but did not want to use those.

Default You just need 1 new screw type clamp and you can use a zip/wire tie

to hold the vac line on the nipple. The nipple has a lip on the end so you don't have to worry about the vac line coming off while just using a wire tie.
