Vacuum Tube Removal 101
Needed
Wire Hanger, untwist and straiten
Tom Airline End Cap, from pet store
Driver side
Crawl under exhaust from behind vehicle
Look up into wheel well and you will notice a valve assembly on one of the pipes coming from the exhaust. Pull off black tube from assembly.
Plug with End Cap
Passenger side
Look for the same valve assembly as in Driver side.
The black tube in this occasion is above it and not visible.
To pull off use left hand and go in from the end towards the front of the vehicle and above the aluminum rear diffuser.
Feel with your fingers the black tube, move up and you will notice a T joint, I assume the other end of the joint goes towards the vacuum line you previously removed. To remove push up on the T, since it is hard to get a good grip in the cramped space.
Get the straitened hanger, put the end cap on one end. End caps conveniently come with a hole on one end. With your left hand move the vacuum tube slightly and keep in place so that you can insert the end cap with the wire hanger from below.
