Which hose do you plan on replacing? The suction hose or high pressure hose?

I would start by flashing the system so you don't get the nasty fluid in the new hose. Here is a guide to help you get the job done.

You might need to jack the car up to get underneath it safely.

Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
