[s-cars] Hydraulic "J" hose leaking

de-lurking here....

Yup, I blew the J-hose last night - the one from the hydraulic pump to the accumulator.   Yup, it's the part that's $558 at the local dealer here in Vermont.  ECS shows it at just $495.  Haven't seen it anywhere else.

It looks like a straight forward fix, and I suspect that I'll need to also replace any washers/o-rings as a part of it.  I checked with a local place that rebuilds hydraulic hoses, but he doesn't think that he has the stock and fittings on hand for this application - apparently he's been asked to do this before, and discovered this needs to be a hose of 2500 PSI working pressue, and he doesn't have the stock on hand to do that.

The next alternative is sending it out to Spokane's House of Hose (as I've researched in the archives, many folks point to them with good results).  Anyone have an idea as to the cost?  Anything else I should address while I'm fixing the hose? 

Thanks all,
Paul
