Yes, the hoses certainly can, and should, be replaced.  

Not sure what "pinholes" you mean, but the way to remove the OEM hoses 
is to carefully cut off the steel crimp ferrule on the hose end. You must do 
this very carefully to avoid cutting into the hose nipple underneath, or else 
you may not be able to get the new hose to seal.
