I pulled an EGR Boost Sensor today. Let me start by saying that I have learned my lesson about trying to pull these vacuum lines off. I will cut them off from here on out. I broke the fitting off the sensor trying to pull the line off.
I did a home repair because it was the only one I could find in two different Pick A Parts. Does anyone see any potential problems in this repair?
I used Super Glue Gel to attach the fitting. I used the nail to make sure the hole didn't clog with glue. I put glue around the hole, then up the sides of the fitting.

This is the Break.

I applied generous Super Glue on the sides up to the electrical tape and then removed the tape before it dried. The taped helped me "cake" on the glue.

I then used Loctite plastic epoxy over the glue and put the line on.

Then I epoxied over the fitting again and onto the tube.

Here is the finished product. I attached a fitting at the other end of the tube so I don't have to mess with the repaired end again. The epoxy is as hard as a rock.
