I changed those little hoses on both my '84 and my '85.  In both cases I
just used a #11 x-acto knife to cut the hoses out from under the metal
rings.  On the '84 I reused the metal rings AND clamps but on the '85 I
just reused the metal rings ... no additional clamps at the injector
end.  That was 2 years ago and not a hint of a weep.
