Default you break off those two stock clamps with a flathead screwdriver, and then you

get some vacuum hose at any automotive store, and use small zip ties to hold it on. its like 68cents per foot for some good vacuum hose. bring that piece with you, make sure the stuff you buy has the same inner diameter as the stock hose.

the places usually keep the vacuum hose in the back, so you have to ask for it.. dont go looking for it, not see it, and then leave

Default Maybe I'm mistaken but I don't think you take that off for the pressure test.
