Default NEED HELP- Vacuum hose broke to front Diff

Hey guys. Just brought home my jeep last night. I got under the front all the way and noticed the vacuum line to the front diff is completely broken. Should I patch it or replace tue whole line. If I do need to replace the whole line how hard is that. Can I get to it without having a loft in my garage. When I test drove the jeep I put it in 4wheel low and I heard it working. Will it engage without the vacuum line.

Thanks for the help

best luck would be to get rid of the lines for the vacuum disconnect junk and just move the vacuum motor over to lock the axle 100% of the time. I locked the vacuum motor on the axle my using a hand vacuum pump and little plug caps and it held fine. Others use washers and there are also cable kits
