Default broke throttle body hose connector

i broke off the hose connector on the throttle body that the #1 hose connects to, has anyone else ever replaced one of these, the only way i can figure is to heat up the throttle body and pull the connector out. i could also cut out the remaining connector out and cut out another one from another throttle body, the reason i care is the new throttle body is bored out. it doesnt look like i can buy a new one from honda

If you can't think of a way to do it, try some epoxy called JB Weld. It's tough as nails and has worked for me on many hard to fix items. They have the old formula that takes about 24 hours to set up and they also have a 5 minute version that seems to work very well, but might not be quite as strong. Just make sure both surfaces are clean and slightly roughed up, align the parts carefully and be ready to hold or support the parts in place until it sets up.

depends on the flow of the coolant, you might have a pressure running aganist you, jb weld wouldn't last very long.

just bypass the whole coolant route and reroute the line back
