    It’s a bit like reattaching a penis. All the tubes are very particular in what they were connected to, so even if you graft it back on you cant direct all of them to reconnect the right way

      and even if you do, the tree works by not having ANY air in them so as soon as there’s even the slightest amount of it, the tube wont work anymore

        Well, I’ve got a brake bleeder kit from 1975 in my garage. That gets the air out pretty well, so we just need an extra tube, a wrench, and someone to squeeze the tree hard enough to mush the air out.
