I tried pulling one out and it broke. After inspecting it, I can't even figure out how it's supposed to be removed from the bumper. Is it supposed to just twist and come apart or something?

See the video here. There's a big plastic nut...

Thanks, that doesn't allow the piece to separate to be replaced though. If I were to buy a new piece to fix this broken one, how do I swap it on? How does this separate from the tube?

It doesn't separate (unless it's broken). In that video, there are only two 'parts' -- the nozzle and the nut that holds it on. The hose pulls off the barbed tube, but the barbed tube is part of the part, if that makes sense. Or am I missing your question?

Hm, I'm not sure. I'd like to replace the broken part and I've seen the 3 inch replacement online (the part you linked is for a later car) but how do I swap on the new piece? At which point does this broken end piece separate from the line?

The best way to remove those plastic barbs from the plastic tubing is to heat up the end of the tubing with a heat gun set to warm (not hot enough to melt it, but hot enough to make it relax). Gently warm it up then try to pull the barb loose.

Reinstalling is the reverse of removal. Heat the tube gently until the barb with fit into the tubing.
