I have one cracked vac hose. I want to get this replaced asap, and need a cheaper indy who can do this.

I should have learnt how to do this myself, but I just don't have the tools. If someone on the forum can assist with the crimp tools and some spare hose, I would pay some for that trouble.

Thanks.

Which vac line is it?

Only tools necessary are screwdriver for the clamps and a knife to cut the hose.

Heck I'd even do it @ $90/hr
I have some spare silicone vacuum hose

The larger ones with clamps rarely have issues until 10+ years. The small ones use no clamps. You cut the hose with wire cutters, a utility knife or even just scissors. Once in a while you use a utility knife to cut the hose (carefully) at a fitting in order to pull it free. If you need to remove something to get at a hose, maybe a few tools, but often that is just a screwdriver to take off the decorative engine covers.

Common problem, we see that a lot.
