split vacuum hosing

ok, so I was taking my dynamic chamber off the other day and I split one of the vacuum hoses that's plug onto it, anybody know the diameter? It's one of the ones right on top of the lower intake section in the middle of the passenger side, pointing straight up.

Most of the other hoses will also be stiff & brittle, so-
If you don't already have them, get a pair of bent tip long nose pliers.
They are the best for working with hoses.
You can pull a hose straight off a fragile plastic nipple, instead of having t work at an angle.

yeah, I already put it all back together and I think since it only took a couple hours to take it all apart and put it all back together I might just rip it all apart and replace them all. Yeah, those would be great but I don't really feel like getting them

I had a leak in the system anyway so it will be nice for them all to be replaced.

Remember the pliers when you break your first plastic solenoid nipple.
They also work for those stuck on 3/8" fuel & coolant lines.
I found some at a flea market for $2.
