Default Clean Vacume lines?

03 Blazer, 4.3 auto, 4X4 Had a problem on the road that chewed up the gear on the right axle shaft in the front Diff. Reading the post I determined the problem started with the vacuum switch on the transfer case and when I pulled the connector off I found ATF in the lines, have not checked the oil level in transfer case yet as I had a thunder storm roll thru and the shade tree leaked. How do I go about cleaning the lines out?

TIA
Jim

Still wondering how to clean the ATF out of the vacume lines?

Wonder no longer... Found using the search feature for 'clean+vacuum+lines' - 8th thread down the list:

There are other, older responses that say very much the same thing as well, that I am sure of.

Thanks I have searched for 2 days and did not find that. Must have had the wrong key words.
