Default HELP Break Booster Hose Routing

Before i disassemble my car again ( broke the oil pressure sending unit during install) i need to know how to route the break booster hose so i dont break it again. Should the hose be routed behind or infront of the oil pressure sending unit? I have been trying to find a picture on how it should look back there with no luck. Also can i remove the Oil Pressure Sending Unit with out having to drain the oil and will i be alright to use the same manifold gaskets or should i replace them? Thanks in advance

The hose has to go behind the sending unit. You cant change that. Stock sending units are super brittle. They break. Just be super careful next time and it likely will not break again. Oil pressure sending unit does not effect the oil in the oil pan in any way. Intake manifold gaskets are reuseable.

Id put the socket on the oil pressure unit while installing the intake that way if you bump it it wont break.
