You've got it - I was able to do it with some mild frustration along the way in my old condo garage. I found one small crack in one spacer but it didn't turn out to be the source of the problem that I was chasing. I recommend you pressurize the vacuum system or use a smoke machine as suggested to determine you have a leak before you go this route... I pressurized the intake system to about 8-10psi using one of those tire pumps that plugs into the cigarette lighter. If the pressure doesn't hold, then start spraying various components and lines with soapy water to find the leaks leaks.
Also, even though it sounds like your AFM is in great shape, if you have it open again I would use a 9V battery to allow you to measure the resistance as the wiper moves across the track. This will rule out any flats spots.
Good luck
