how do you make this little bastard stay put? The obvious problem appears to be that the hose shrunk up and I had to really give it hell with pliers to go back on its nipple.

Hose clamp maybe?

Add more tubing... Not worth the effort trying to stretch it back.

I am pretty sure it was impossible to do so with mine, added a few inches of tube, tucked it in on one end, and overlapped on the other. Golden.
 
I just fixed mine, finally after 2 years of dealing with the leak. We had a hose of the same size as the original, so to join them I used the cone-shaped end of a sharpie :shifty: It won't come loose again.
 
I used thick shrink tubing to "bridge the gap" after just stretching and plugging it back on failed after almost a year, been close to a year now on that side with no problem. so i just fixed the other side the same way a couple of months ago but added a second layer, silicon, and zip ties.

i dont expect this to ever be a problem again!
 
I used a plastic piece that came with my vacuum pump to bridge the gap...and some black RTV to seal it up good. No probs so far
 
no, he would rather tease everybody slowly by putting a pic in his sig!
 
LOL, feel kinda odd posting about the car since it's not right after the LS. I guess since so many people are asking I'll put a thread up.

Sorry for the thread-jack there, ya Farkin' Bastage!
