I am trying to replace the vacuum check valve for the brake booster. I am having trouble locating the valve itself but from what I have researched it may be built into the vacuum line. However, the part i got from Hyundai is a fairly standard three way check valve with some rubber elbows on it? I cannot see anyplace where it my go so i assume i just got an incorrect part and have to order a new hose. There appears to be a union of some kind at a mount on the back of the plenum before the line goes into the manifold itself. This is what i assumed was the check valves location at first glance . Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Replacing the vacuum brake booster isn't too hard. The most difficult is getting under the dash to unbolt it. There isn't a lot of room.

Regardless, here are the directions for replacement. The attached pictures correlate with the directions.
