Honestly the vent hose broke with so little pressure that I think it was inevitable.

Just wanted to comment on this -- great write up. Was looking into doing this a reading up all the DIYs the past few days. Long story short, not even a week or so later my belt starting squeaking and shredded. Had to get a tow to a local Goodyear and fork over 540$ for the belt and tension-er
.
Do this ASAP. I had 106k and the belt started to show signs of wear via squeaking for less than 10days before I got cooked.
