Are there any nuances to changing the hoses, removing from the junction box, etc...?
Archer ..I would not replace on a commuter that is within AAA from Home. They just don’t fail very often. put a roll of self sealing rescue tape and replace the other hoses

Ok...I rather not replace them, I get on a roll and like to refresh stuff while working in an area or on a system...like the experience of doing/accomplishing a new repair/project.
