That reminds me that I have a new set of those hoses in my coach and
haft to do the same thing. I'm sure mine haven't been changed out
and like you I'm not looking forward to doing that particular job.
Maybe it would be better to let some shop do that work? Another job
just like back in my old shipyard days- no room and no fun-
