I have wrestled with this for several year. Search YouTube for "Dremel cutting tool and cut off the vacuum breaker". Do not install the new one with the breakaway set screw, Buy a 5mm stainless set screw and use it instead. It will not rust and can easily be removed when you have to replace the breaker in about 5 years. These fail about every 5 years. There are other YouTubes to drill out the set screw or use a hacksaw but the dremel appears the easiest. I'll try it when I get back to Florida.
