I'm not familiar what kind of fittings are used for this application. Is the original a pressure fit? Does it need to be specially crimped back on?

What's the best way to couple this back together without having to get an entire new hose with ends? Can I put in a short splice that can be installed with home tools?

Looks like clam removal to replace it in one piece.
I was going to post 25k miles without a problem, until this happened.

I had a similar experience. Oil everywhere and British Motors says that it will cost $2,900 to replace the hoses and the oil soaked break linings. What is the best solution, change hoses or just the fitting? Anyone have any ideas?
