Default Haha, Ill just do it the old way.

Curse at it and hit it with **** until it slithers away and dies, later to be replaced with the much more user friendly

be careful, sometimes that method can break the plastic barb on components.

Default I bought a kit with diff sizes of Silicone hoses at AutoZone

They had 3 common sizes of vacuum hose in the kit. It was enough to replace all my small vacuum lines and some large, leaking ones as well.
