Oh one more thing, you don't really need to replace the entire line if it won't reach. You can take a piece of rubber line that will fit snugly over the hard plastic line, and use it as a splice to attach another piece of plastic line.

This is sorta tricky, I had to do the same thing. The problem is that the breather hose hole is larger than the safety line, and won't fit snugly. There probably used to be a head on that line that would fit snugly. So what I did was get a short piece of rubber vac line, and put it over the the safety line. Then I took a piece of hard plastic line that was large enough to fit into the breather hose snugly, and shoved it into the vac line splice piece I made on the safety line. It's tricky to find a piece of rubber hose to splice with that will be snug on the skinner line and still accept the fatter one. I ultimately found a piece that did fit over both lines, but it wound up a little bit loose on the skinny line side. So I put rubber cement on the skinny line and shoved it in. Fixed.
