485 fuel line replace

The flex line on left side of engine on my Case IH 485 is leaking mid hose, so I need to replace. Can't figure out how to
disconnect it at the top. Help!
 
I have found the answer to how to remove the fuel line at the top. It was so covered with oily dirt I could not see that it is removed just like the bottom part. A 3/4" (wrench size) bolt with holes in it goes through the round "tire" like end. Now the task is to find someone who sells a replacement hose.
 
If the hose has banjo fittings, I have ground the crimp ends
and pulled the banjo ends out to reuse them with fuel line
hose. It does not have to be a braided hose as it carries no
pressure from filter to injection pump.
 
Thanks Dieseltech. I tried cutting the hose and inserting a barbed tubing to get rid of the leak. It leaked worse. When I took it off and made a closer look the entire rubber under the flex wrapping was cracking everywhere. So I did as you said and ground off the end crimps, put a 5/16 fuel line on it and it has no drips, no leaks, no errors. It was a huge undertaking, however because of the loader frame restricting access. Thus the first attempt. Again, Thanks. Your info gave me what I needed to knnow to tackle it.
