I've removed my inlet manifold ready to modify for Mondeo throttle body mod. However, in removing it from the car, I think I've damaged the vac hose fitting that goes to the brake servo.
The vac hose is the rigid plastic type, not the rubbery ones that go elsewhere (fuel purge solenoid and somewhere else).
How is this held on? Is it just push fit? I think I broke some sort of plastic sleeve when I was levering it off. There seems to be some sort of metal clip inside the hole in the manifold where the plastic hose fits, this looks mashed too.
If I've borked it completely I think I'll drill it out and put a barbed hose connector on there - tap a thread in the hole to make sure it's secure.
