Just a side note since you had trouble removing the old hoses.

I ended up buying a cheap, HF, set of “long reach hose grip pliers” for a sending unit project I did on a modern vehicle. I cannot tell you how many times they’ve saved me since. Super handy.

While you’re putting things back together, a light coat of some lubricant where the hose attaches to whatever….makes future jobs much less frustrating. I’ve used Vaseline. A silicone or teflon grease would probably be a better choice.
