Quick question, how does the hard plastic vacuum line that runs to the brake booster on a 2000 XJR separate from the throttle elbow? Doesn't seem to want to come off and I'm wary of breaking 20 year old heat hardened plastic fittings.

Thanks
Mike

 

I broke one a month ago order new hose and the insert...I don’t remember who from sorry I fought getting the insert out finely used an ez out..

 

Very easy - first, push the pipe and the black plastic collar at the elbow bush inwards; then, while keeping the plastic collar pressed against the elbow bush, pull the pipe out.

Plastic collar:

 

Thanks, that was easy! Unfortunately the plastic collar came out in multiple pieces probably from a combination of heat damage and me poking and pulling on it. Another order for ebay - C2S15816

 

The connection on the throttlebody that it all goes into is a little brass insert I bought that piece it was broken on the inside That is what I convinced myself at least. Anyway to get that piece out that’s what I used an easy out on it was the brass insert
