Replacing vacuum lines?
Has anyone done this? I am trying to slowly take care of the neglect the po did to my yj. I would like to replace the lines. How time consuming is it and is there anything I should know before hand. Seems straight forward. Take one out put one in but I like to get an idea of what I am doing and plan accordingly.

Nothing to it, its an hour to do it at the most. I used the generic vacuum line sold by the foot from the parts store.

Theres a few diferent sizes they used on these in addition to some adapters needed. I would get several feet of 1/4 and 5/16 line, with a selection of adapters to go down to 1/8. Possibly some Tee fittings and caps too.
