I always keep spare vacuum line on hand and replace the braided portion from the main vacuum hose off the pump to the pair of crossover plastic hoses. They are almost worn out by now.

I'll have to try that next time. It's a very obnoxious part of the job, but I always just followed the ECS DIY guide which indicates you should. Next time I'll skip that step, but hopefully I won't be doing this job again for a long time to come!
Those hoses seemed to be the most brittle out of any I've come across, I had no intentions of trying to salvage those to reuse. Having done the job twice now, getting the original vacuum lines disconnected is challenging when you're also trying to break the plastic attachments.
