S!

I am installing a 2.4l intake manifold on my 2.2l. I have disconnected everything but the brake booster hose. I released the black ring that holds the hose to the booster but can't remove the hose from the booster. I need your tips on how to remove the hose from the brake booster without breaking something. It appears that the hose would just slide off but it is on the brake booster very tight. When I pull on the hose to remove it, the booster itself begins to move or in a way bend. I don't want to break it. Or is that even correct? Where to hose is connected to the manifold, I tried turning in 180 degrees as mentioned in Maven's how-to but it doesn't completely turn enough for me to unlock it. Any suggestions?

Thank you,

Don't pull it off of the booster, pull it off of the manifold.

When I installed the manifold a while back, there was a 2.4 brake booster hose in with the CED kit. You cut your stock hose and install part of the 2.4 hose on the 2.4 manifold because you need a longer hose with the 2.4 manifold. If you don't have a kit, you will need to pick up an extra length of hose with a male-male adapter to connect your stock hose to the new section.

Hope that helps.

 

you HAVE to pull it off the booster cause it needs to be made longer


and just pull like **** and it will come off, its just a push fit

to put it back on reverse

do not due this! you will/can create a problem in the line...probly not but why gamble...this will probly cost you more too...just pick up a longer hose and replace....prbolem solved

 

i bought whole new hose and ran it fromt he booster to the 2.4 manifold and clamped it..

 

will the zzp 2.2 cat-con downpipe bolt-n to the vibrant header?

i need to know this quick !

 

I've been running like this for a ~year now with out any issues.

Flyy, what do you mean by cat-con? I would think any aftermarket DP should bolt to and aftermarket exhaust manifold. ...And all your link fail are belong to me! 404 friend.

 

maybe its just me but that link doesn't work.

 

yeah idk y the link isn't working bu w\e anyway thanks for the advice though i was thinking that any after market dp would work as well i just wanted some clarification from another person that owns a cobalt, and cat-con is catalytic converter

 

Note to NightHawk...the 2.4 brake booster hose IS a 2-piece set up. There is a connector in the center from the factory. To install it on the 2.2 with a 2.4 manifold you only have to cut the 2.2 hose in the right place, split the 2.4 hose assy at the center connector, and install it in the cut 2.2 hose.

 

ive installed 3 of these
i have NEVER seen or used a two piece setup

just do it RIGHT the first time, and go pick up a sub 5$ piece of hose and replace the whole thing

 

word

 

Have you seen a 2.4L booster hose? They are a 2-piece hose with a connector in the middle -- that's the way they come. The one on my 07 2.4L SS was that way and I installed one on my 06 2.2 LS. The 2.4L booster hose has the bends that make it look "factory" instead of running a straight piece of hose. Either way works...just depends on how you want it to look.

 

that's what i did
