You may be able to fish for it but it isn't easy.  If you haven't changed your air filter for a while, then just pull the tank and change the filter and the line at the same time.  It may be time to change all your vacuum lines anyway.

The airbox would still be in the way.

scarylarry.... Grin

Give Rich a email at Red Eye custom high quality vacuum lines at fair prices.  If one is bad they all need changing.

Like Chris said.. Its also in shop talk or archives.. I don't think its too hard too remove a couple intakes and just squeeze yourself in there,but, its been a long time.. You're not replacing just #3 line?? I know, but, had to ask.. Good line/hose and caps[or make your own] can be found at your friendly local vacuum line store..
