I need to disassemble this vacuum Tee in order to re-route this line. Any tricks to getting it apart, or should I just cut it and replace it with new? I want to put an Ell in place of the Tee, and another Tee down under this solenoid.
I was initially trying to get the top side removed, but its good to know that the check valve (??) is an integral part of the TEE.Not sure where you’re try to separate the fittings. This is where it comes apart.

The vacuum line is also available for $20.

I‘d never think of using hairspray for reassembling those rubber fittings, Andy. Does it lube it for assembly, or make it sticky to keep it together?I would cut the zip tie, move it behind the harness as it , re zip tie.
compressed air can make it easy and hair spray at reassembly is awesome.
Both...it allows it to slide easily then freezes it...it’s thin lacquer basically.I‘d never think of using hairspray for reassembling those rubber fittings, Andy. Does it lube it for assembly, or make it sticky to keep it together?
Aqua-Net. Best hairspray out there and its cheap!Both...it allows it to slide easily then freezes it...it’s thin lacquer basically.
Diesel guys use it for their cold air charge hoses as well.
Works on potato guns also.Aqua-Net. Best hairspray out there and its cheap!
Winch power.Works on potato guns also.
What is that solenoid for? Starter?

This is what I ended up doing - used a sub-miniature screwdriver. Re-routed the line going to the vacuum reservoir, then cut the line on the other side of the TEE and put an elbow in it. No more stress on the line:Use a small 90deg pick to work the hose loose. Slide it between the hose and the plastic, but don't poke a hole in the hose. Like the tool you use for radiator hoses.
Nice work, Zorb. Looks very clean now.This is what I ended up doing - used a sub-miniature screwdriver. Re-routed the line going to the vacuum reservoir, then cut the line on the other side of the TEE and put an elbow in it. No more stress on the line:
