I am in the process of doing the same job I ordered the tool to make it easier. I was wondering did you access the hoses from underneath the car or from the top of the engine compartment?

I went from underneath, due to the fact that since I replaced my top with a glass window top I don't have the same access as before. And yes, you have to remove the trans plate and attaching suspension bar to have access. Talk to Woody about a NOS, (new old stock) replacement, he seems to have some of the best used parts available at very reasonable prices.

The cracks were more towards the back and on the bottom.

I did the job a few months ago from the top side. I didn't take anything off. Its a pain and many scratched knuckles later it was done. You are saving a few hundred in labor though.
