I had to replace one of mine a while back.  I removed the hose and took it to
a local A/C wholesaler/shop who re-used the ends and made me a "new" hose.  I
don't recall the specifics, but I do remember that it saved me a bundle
compared to the dealer price$.  If you're interested in doing this
mail-order-style, I could dig out the name/number/address of this Southern
California shop.
