In the future leave the air cleaner end snugly attached to the air cleaner and tighten the clamp on the other end JUST ENOUGH that it will slip off the intake air distributor when you want it to. DO NOT FLEX this elbow when you are removing the air cleaner. It just won't hold up to that kind of treatment. If you cannot fix yours, I can probably come up with a good used one, but there were different versions, so I'll need details to be sure you get the right one.
