My original cooler line sprung a leak at one of the rubber hoses 7 years ago. I took the line off the car and took it all over town looking for a replacement. No one knew what to do short of going to the junk yard. So, I tossed the metal line, bought a couple feet of heater hose, clamped it at both ends and called it a day. Now that hose is leaking at the water pump that I installed yesterday. I know that I could just cut a couple inches off of that hose and stick a new clamp on it, but I'd like to put the original line back on.
I got a line from a super cougar at the junk yard last month. I don't want to just stick it on the car without replacing the rubber hose part. I also don't want to screw it up. What do I do to cut off the crimp on both ends of the metal line? How difficult is this and do I need anything special? I want to replace the worn rubber hose with new ones at both ends.
