Default Replacing all vacuum lines

Hello all,

I just read the post below about reattaching a vacuum line, which reminded me that I want to replace all of mine. I got the vacuum diagram from humanspeakers.com, and I plan to go out and measure the thickness of all the lines, then get a few feet of new lines and cut them to size.

Does that sound OK? Anything special I need to know? Is there any sealant around the fittings to any of the lines? Any particular line is hard to get to? Is there any order I should do it in?

Basically, any BTDTs would be great.

Thanks,
Mladen

Default Nope, that's about it...

Just replace one hose at a time, just like you would with a spark plug wire. As for the elbows tyler mentioned, any parts store carries these for cheap if you do break one. Get *lots* of hose though...the suckers are everywhere, even in the fenders.
