After the PB blaster worked I was so excited I jumped under the car and removed the driver side hose first then the the other was a bit sticky. Anyways it cracked and here is the picture. I think the is between fuel pump and filter side....Any body ever have this issue ? Thanks in advance.

EDIT* sorry I meant connector ring. Can I buy just that ring ? The other side turns within the hose so I assume it comes out.

Hose assembly. If it has any slack, you may be able to attach what is left with a clamp.

Yeah, you broke the fuel line clean off.

I wedge a 14mm wrench between the filter and the fitting and pry the fitting off. Works like a charm!

Get standard fuel hose 8mm diameter type.
Cut old hose back a bit.
Cut new hose to appropriate length.

Connect them together using a brass coupler (hardware store) and clamps.
