I'll remove the liner, that's how i thought I could get to it but wasn't 100%. I'll measure with a string the length and buy replacement hose from an autoparts store. I think if i used a junkyard part it would have just as much sun damage as my current hose has.
when I bought my 07 it came broke, so I took a oem off a 01, works great
but I do hear what your saying, even at a part store cost is minor
