Broken Vacuum Line Off Resevoir

[BW Explorer]

So I was replacing a relay below the air intake on my 1996 Explorer XLT and accidentally broke one of the red vacuum lines that run above the relay box. From what I can tell, this line is part of the central axle disconnect that connects to the vacuum reservoir ball. It's a clean break and I somewhat accessible so how do you recommend I fix this?

Sleeve it with a peice of rubber hose.

Agree. Parts stores sell packs of vacuum hose with various sizes. Just sleeve/splice it together

The auto parts stores sell these rubber couplings in the Motormite/Dorman/Help section.

Thanks, the sleeve worked well. Also got some couplings as back up.
