You have to carefully cut off the crimp ferrules without cutting into the hose barb underneath. You can do this with a bench grinder or a hacksaw, but you must be careful not to go very far into the rubber. Once you get one apart you can see exactly what you're up against. Once the old hose is off, you can replace it with any kind of suitable hose and clamp. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
