So here goes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Materials

-Silicone hose 2.8-3.5mm (Check inside diameter as tube thickness varies). I used 6' High Temp Silicone Vacuum line from NAPA parts for $4.80

-Tiny Screwdriver thats preferebly very sharp (I used some small screwdriver from a buick dealer i found in the couch)

-Small Razor/Xacto Knife (Useful for cutting the lines when thier in hard to reach places)

-Really sharp scissors (You'll be cutting lots of silicone line and sharp ones make it easy)

-Cable Ties (Didnt seem all that important since the tubes are on pretty tight but makes you feel better)


Tips

-Its ok to get rough with the cloth covered lines, however be very careful with the bare plastic ones. They are very brittle, in face i cracked one and had to use a large amount of my silicone hose to replace that.

-Dont just pull on the lines, they wont come off. Get your screwdriver and pry around the connecter. You can also take a razor and just cut a slit longways and take it off. See pic below.
