I have pinhole on the upper hose as see in this pic

the hole is right beside where the hose is attached to the metal fitting, it looks like the part numbers are separate as far as the 2 pieces of hose that fit into each side of the metal tube, the pin hole is on the short hose on the right, am I able to get the old hose out of that coupling and put a new hose there or do I need that whole assembly?

Thank you

 

your talking about the end hose attached to the water pump after the bleeder fiting. as you can see its crimp on. i would say that the entire hose would need to be replaced.

 

yeah, that's the hose, but the hole is right where it goes into the metal tube that the bleeder screw is in, can I take the hose out of that metal tube and just put a short hose between the bleeder metal part and the water pump? how do I get the hose out of the bleeder metal part?

 

The hoses can be replace individually. A Dremel and a cut-off wheel to slit the swaged collar and then peel it off. A new hose can be put on with normal hose clamps. Please post the year of your car for the correct hose information (a signature makes it easy).

 

it's a 95 z28, sorry about that, dremel to cut the hose or the metal? Thnk you!

 

Cut the collar and not into the pipe underneath.
