 for example with a vacuum tester tool. You can find them under 20 bucks which will be fine to test the hoses. You create a vacuum pumping air out while the other side is plugged and watch the gauge if you keep or loose the vacuum. you can also buy (instead of a tool) 20 bucks worth of vacuumhoses and replace the old ones.20 bucks will not be enough to replace them all. Keep in mind you cannot just use any hose for the stronger-vacuum ones.... good luck! |
