While pulling off a vacuum elbow, the little nub on the vac tree came with it. How do I seal it? Would Shoe Goo work fine?

a black epoxy or silicone (high temp) can do the job....you mean one of the nipples sticking out of the tree right?...you could always cap it off and put the vac line on one of the other spots.

I wouldnt trust shoe goo, a good epoxy should work fine.

Go to the dealer for this part and make sure you get a new o-ring underneath it. It's cheap and not worth messing with. Can't remember the part number but the parts department should know what you are talking about when asking for Vacuum Tree.

def get a new one...not worth taking any risks for a simple and not costly replacement part
