The hose on the bottom is the one that's going to make you curse and throw wrenches. Before you even start this job, get a spring hose clamp tool like the one listed in Wayne's book.

I've done a few of these myself. The first time did take several hrs. This hose you mentioned, the best way to remove this is just to cut it and pull the AOS out. The new AOS does come with a new hose. When installing the hose make sure you use a clamp that has either a hex screw or scred driver nut to loosen/tighten.

This method saves you a lot of frustration.
