Default Re: remove vacuum line

It is the red rubber I believe that is hung up on the bottom of the two tabs and preventing the white piece from completely coming out. As I back the white piece out I'm going to try and raise at least one of the two tabs and get that thing disconnected.
I do not want to take off the supercharger. I do not want to take the hose off the white end piece until I have it free from the supercharger. Once it is off the car I can use some heat and a razor blade to save the white piece for my new vacuum line.
I do not understand what you mean by " Also the connect tab". Are you referring to the black fitting that is actually attached to the supercharger?
Thank you for your help!!
Yeah by connect tab I was referring to the tab connected to the blower. That part locks the brake booster line into the blower securely. The white piece your seeing is from the booster line, it is all the booster line. I dont think its possible to break the booster line as ive had mine off about 10 times and have bent and turned it all kinds of ways.

Since your seeing that much of the white part the line should be disconnected from the blower, you just need to pull it out. If I remember correctly, removing the TB does give you more room to do this.
