Brake Booster Hose to Intake Manifold

Navservice · Post by **Navservice** » 16 Oct 2022, 21:57

My Brake Booster Hose lifts out of its fitting on the intake manifold, the only thing keeping it in is its weight. it's a sloppy fit and, undoubtedly a vacuum/pressure leak. My Haynes manual doesn't mention or show it. Does anyone know what I need to do to repair this? IPD doesn't have anything close to what I need. Does this mean a trip to PickUrPart?

This first photo is mostly for orientation. The plastic cover for that area has been removed. It shows the hose seated in the intake manifold.

Yes, I just found another post about this problem, seems there is a switch involved and a releasing grommet. Does this mean I should remove the intake manifold and look for parts rattling around in there? (hopefully not ingested) Consensus seems to be yes, a trip to PickUrPart is in order.

Just in case someone reads this and wants to know how it turned out, I found a car at Pick Your Part. The brake booster hose entrance to the intake manifold was covered in some king of hardened goop. I took the hint. I wanted to make sure I got my goop under the ring that's in the opening. In playing with that ring I found it is a plastic collar that, when lifted, should allow the removal of the booster hose. it no longer needed to be lifted for that to happen. So now mine has hardened goop around it (JB epoxy putty).
