You take one hose off and leave one hose on and loop it onto the other nipple.

I'd suggest doing it the right and FREE way, with a male to male connector you've got too much chance for a small leak or something....
Keep the extra hose under your pillow all summer and every other night the throttle body bypass fairy will give you a quarter if you are good. wink1.gif
and if you lose it, I have a spare. wink1.gif

LOL
He's right, just put the hose back on later.
There is no reason to reconnect them, it doesn't get cold enough up there for you to want to.
I've never heard, in what, 6 years now, of someone having their TB freeze shut.

trust me man, dont worry about it.
Where i live it gets cold, real cold, and i never have any problems
I think your eyelids woud freeze shut before your throttle would.

left is hanging? you are not going to get a quarter....
and yea, this mod is best done while installing a BBTB or something. Sorta a pain to do on it's own.
A skinny pair of locking plyers work wonders with those clamps (you will find more painful ones around your engine bay...)
