hub vacuum lines
I just replaced my ball joints. When I put everything back together, one of the vacuum lines would not go back into the knuckle/hub. It is a fine thread and looks like it could possibly be stripped, but I'm not 100% sure. I didn't want to try to force it too hard and mess up the threads even more. Does anyone know what the thead size is? Is it possibly NPT and I just didn't get enough force to get it in there? The passenger side when back on easy. What problems will leaving it off for a day or two create, other than a little dust in the hub? Any suggestions to get it back on? Thanks

I used a 10" long piece of 1-1/4 inch pipe with floor flange & cap on the ends. Slide on the seal, slide pipe & flange over axle, and carefully hammer the pipe until the seal seats.
