Exactly which hose are you referring to? Where is it located? On the throttle body?

I think what you're referring to is actually two ( 2 ) 90 degree plastic elbows , not a hose . Go to the following link for a description of the job and tips for how to easier do the job ! Good luck ! http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=1066465
