I was being sarcastic. I think I spent $5 when I took mine out.

I know. But there are too many people who have bought kits like this from TPO when they could have done it for pocket change...

I used the existing hose from the canister, a "y" connector from Checker Auto Parts, and 2 vacuum caps. It was somewhere in the neighborhood of $3...

I got the vacuum caps from NAPA. My caps are showing signs of drying out and cracking lately. they've only been on there for ~2k miles. Keep forgetting to stop by there and get replacements. |

Okay so I have everything off. The M5 bolts I have (smallest ones I could find) still are way longer than the end of the nipple that screwed in... Could I space it out with a washer of sorts or should i go find the smaller ones. Or is it fine that they go in further? Thanks for the help.

Yah, the M5 bolts I found at Home Depot are way too long. A little Dremel action took care of that. I also applied liquid gasket to the bolt to seal it. |

Alright great. I picked up some smaller ones and have some high temp gasket stuff. Very easy and simple mod it's a wonder anyone would spend that money for the TPO kit.
