VACUUM HOSE REPAIR - MINI-TUBE
Vacuum Pump Kit
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. WARNING: Read the warning information on the product label to prevent possible personal injury.
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.
5. 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.
6. Shake the repair joint after assembly to make sure the solvent is dispersed and the vacuum line is not plugged.
7. Test the system for a vacuum leak in the repair area.
