2005 Toyota Corolla - air hose union?

Need to swap my air intake hose.

per the diagram on a website, the breather hose (green) and the air intake (red) are joined together by a specific air hose union (blue)

I'm probably overthinking this but I wanted to check with the pros: can I transfer this old air hose union to my new air intake? is it just press the union fitting into the opening of the new hose?

I'm worried there may be some kind of sealant that I'm unaware of. Just don't want to get into this and find out I've caused a vacuum leak.

Thank you for your time

Американский пропагандистский плакат 1942 года, призывающий экономить бензин. Я удивлен, что он еще не опубликован в России.

TIL about Lane Thomas Graves. In 2016, the two year old was gathering sand for his sand castle at Walt Disney World, when an alligator attacked and dragged the boy into the water. The father was unsuccessful in fighting off the alligator.

2005 Toyota Corolla, need advice on removing seized battery connector. Read post in full please.

What was supposed to be a stupid simple 5 minute swap is turning into a mess.

​

Yesterday my car was acting up. looked into it and my posBattery connection was a bit loose. went to tighten it and the screw skipped. No biggie, time for a new battery connector.

​

Picked one up from the store, proceeded to disconnect both connectors to my battery. When I went to loosen the nut holding the connector to the incoming wires, it turned without loosening.

​

Learned my lesson that I should have pb blasted it and let it soak. first time dealing with a really rusted piece.

​

The problem is this connector won't detach from the cable because whatever was holding the nut in place underneath is stripped smooth.

​

I thought about cutting out the bottom of the connector so I can secure the underside with a tool while I remove the nut on top, but I decided to just stop what I'm doing and ask for help.

​

Multiple photos included.

​

If anybody has advice on this please tell me.

​

Thank you for reading and I look forward to reading your comments
