The heater core hoses come in a pre-made assembly. I went to autozone and bought normal heater hose and replaced the whole thing. I just cut the bleeder off the old hoses and put it in the new hose.

You could do the above mentioned method or if you want to keep the bleeder and not pay the dealer price try this:

Default by far the best and cheapest method

yup thats the way to go. with the lines too, had a tranny coolant leak near the engine mount. 159$ witha couple of compression fittings and a 5$ line I was fixed under 10$ always a way to do stuff cheaper.
