how do you disconnect...
If you are willing to trash the hose just to get that middle section you can get a dremel and cut the crimped part, then bend/twist/yank it off. I did that with an old car and then bought new hose and clamps to go on either side.
Sure you can. You slice a groove (Dremel with cutoff wheel works well) into the swaged collar (being careful not to cut into the pipe inside) and then peel it off. Hoses are available individually for this purpose. Secure the new hose with a normal clamp.
That would've worked better. I just need to get dremel brushes.
