Pick and pull!!! They are basically all the same vacuum tube coming off all brake boosters in every Mercedes from the 70s to the early 90s.

If you just want to replace the T you will have to cut it out of your parts car, then cut your broken one out of your new car, and u then need to use a heat gun or VERY CARFULLY use a torch to heat up the line and set in your replacement T. It is a hard line so u can't just wiggle in the barb fitting like you normally would, you have to heat it to expand and shrink.

You may need to get some more generic tubing to run from the rear end of the T to the break booster because after splicing out and in your old and new T the line may not reach the booster because of the few inches you will loose from cutting it out.

So ya, either pull the whole line from the parts car and cut a section out of that or get a generic hose and use that.

Also remember, just air is running thru these lines and the T connection. You can find a generic T and generic line at any automotive or hardware store and make it work just fine.
