Default Brake Booster Line Removal?

Just want to know whether or not i can take this off without issues. I got the hose to the end and half off and heard that it was under pressure so not sure if i should go any further without knowing for sure...

Any info would be great!!!

That's the vacuum hose to the master cylinder brake booster. No hose = no power brakes + huge vacuum leak. Don't mess with it.

Don't try to replace that rubber hose. It has a built-in check valve inside, hence the arrows on the tubing.

What are you planning to do now?

It's okay to take off while working on something but make sure to put it back on before driving it.
Like cbayman said no hose= no power brakes + huge vacuum leak.

Nice job there man! You're obsessed with those flex lines.

I've been meaning to get one of those... instead, I am running out of hose to use it on since I have been shaving the engine bay. I think what I have left is where ever the coolant runs.
