boil water and simply pour over it? it's not a sensor or anything is it? i noticed it's a metal line. im replacing it with a rubber line.

i had this problem, as i didn't want to remove the metal arm, i connected the rubber hose up to the intake side of the metal arm, and got a connector for the rubber hose to the intake. the only thing is either you cut the hose short enough or you wrap it around the intake to take up the slack.
hope that helps if not get some pics up or see if you can change it for the proper model.
