Last vacuum lines to fix

Well! Some small work by the 500 today. Should change the last hoses to the engine vacuum, now we are from the throttle to the valve cover. At the valve cover, a little oil mist has leaked, as the hoses are so hard. However, a small problem.. But to change the hose at the throttle will be some more work, then the air mass meter will be removed, and of course the rubber is very dry, small cracks. Now I have to remove the entire damper to be able to change the hose as well. Some one don this work in the forum?
Some description “how to do” is needed.,
Best Regards
Niklas

Replacing the hose at the rear of the ETA has been covered in other threads on the forum, you'll need to search to find them. It's usually easier to remove the ETA to replace this hose. @Hakie posted some tricks recently.

Hi
Did the removal at the ETA in Tuesday,
And that was an easy job.
The vacuum hose was in very bad shape,
Cracked, and also the “boot” with the MAF
wasn’t in best condition…
Just ordered new gaskets and boot.
I read in some thread about date on the ETA. Something about-93??
What is the problem with ETA “earlier”,
and where could I se the date of manufacture?
