QUOTE(TimT @ Aug 29 2004, 05:19 AM) Just replace the bent tube, get a collapsible replacement tube. yank the bent one out, stuff in the new one They are a bit of a PITA to install though Use two screw-type hose clamps in the middle of the new tube. One clamp on each half. Then you can use a screwdriver to pry between the clamps to force the tubes into position. It's much easier to install them this way. |
