Brake Booster Hose & Check Valve
I need to replace the brake booster check valve, but the replacement part comes as an assembly with the entire vacuum hose. Does anyone know how to remove the brake booster vacuum hose from the intake manifold? The hose will not release by just pulling on it, and the manifold end is not easy to reach or even see for that matter. Thanks in advance.

Brake Booster Hose - Manifold
Did you ever get a response to this. My vacuum hose going into the bottom of the intake manifold as to be replaced.
Do you have to replace the entire manifold or can you replace just the hose.
thanks

New question - are there special tools required to remove teh manifold - i.e. all the other hoses/lines coming in?
Is there anything special I need to be carefull about?
thanks.

I have already purchased the new gaskets and MB sealant to replace the intake manifold after the repair. Does anyone know the torque requirements for the eight bolts?
Thank you!

Everything I have seen shows that this part is not replaceable. It is a stupid point of failure for the entire manifold. See my thread about removal and cleaning of the manifold. I don't see how that part will attach or work. Maybe by drilling out the original fitting and then tapping a new fitting into the metal???
The second hose with barb might work, basically you are putting a splice connector into the piece of the hose that is stuck in the manifold. I would put some glue around it if it does fit.
Your best bet is to get a used manifold, take it apart and clean it thoroughly and be very careful not to damage the hose connection.
When I did this job, I cut off the hose at a few inches, coated it with the liquid plasti-dip, then spliced in some new MB vacuum hose to the original length.
I have a spare 430 manifold. $100 shipped to USA48 if anyone wants it.
Brand new manifold is about $1000, but might be worth it if you love the car and don't want to spend hours refurbishing a used manifold.
