Question Heater Hose replacement?????

So I've been looking but cannot seem to find any Posts that I deem useful in replacing just the rubber hoses going to and from the heater core. I find where I can purchase and replace the stock OEM heater hose assembly for a bunch of money $$$$$. Hasn't anyone ever posted this information? If not then I guess whenever I find what I need I can take some pictures and post what I find.

Yes! It was your post that I found to show me how to remove the old hoses.
However....................................... I found a perfectly formed replacement hose for the one that goes from the metal line to the heater core.

so what hose did you use to go from the pipe to the water pump? I cannot find the hoses that have that wicked bend , and when I try to make that bend with straight hose it kinks.

Its regular heater hose you buy by the foot at the auto parts store. It doesn't kink at all.
