Just got a '71 1.7 and two of the fuel injectors fuel hoses (the hose from the fuel rail/line to the injector) have cracked, apparently from age. I hate the thought of having to replace the injector just because the fuel hose part is cracked. Is there any way to replace that section of fuel line? It appears to be a press fit onto the injector. So, $150+ for new injector or $1.50 for new fuel line? Ideas????

yes, there is a "barb" on the end of the injector to insert into the new fuel line. anymethod you can think of, pretty much, is the way to remove the crimped connection. dremel, hack saw, vise grips..... with usual caution and care/finesse.....
