Default How to replace part load breather hose?

Just ordered a replacement part load Breather Hose. How do I connect to the throttle body side without removing the whole throttle body?! Just channeling it down the length of the engine-block looks tedious...

When I replaced mine, I had a problem getting the connection at the throttle body disconnected and decided to cut it off. I figured since it was cracked and I was replacing it anyway this was the easiest way.

Then to run the new hose, I taped the new hose to the old hose at the front of the engine and fished it under the intake manifold to the back.

Just a note, to get the new connection onto the throttle body required a good push for it to click in. The rubber hose on the purge valve was also really fun to disconnect.
