Brake Booster Vacuum Pump Plastic 90° Fitting

[Justin_D]

Replacing the vacuum pump on my 13-jeep wrangler JK. The vacuum fitting on the pump broke off inside of the 90° elbow. We need to replace the elbow or the line and the Dealer wants $52 for the whole line and the fitting (Diagram 13) All parts stores say its a dealer only part. Anybody help?

Where's the broken part?

When the fitting in the circle part of the pump was broken off in the 90-degree connecter. When we pulled the broken piece out of the connector, the inner part of the connector broke.

Do you think you can drill it out and tap it with a pipe tap and then screw a brass barbed fitting in then slip the hose on it?

We ordered a new brake booster vacuum pump, we are trying to find the plastic 90-degree fitting.

Why couldn't you use a rubber hose in place of the 90?

We were just trying to find a way to get it locked onto the tube (like the plastic connector) instead of a hose that could possibly slip off.

You would need to put hose clamps on the hose ends, but it's vacuum and as long as it fits snug it shouldn't come off.
