Just noticed last weekend mine are cracking too. Havent got them off yet, but they are definitley splitting.
The fittings are 3/8'' NPT, with a 1/2" hose barb. So, the rubber hose should be 1/2'' ID. Looks like with the drives turned fully to the right, and trimmed up to the max, should be able to get in there to access it. Let me know how it goes. Plan to fool with that this weekend sometime.
Heres the fittings and hose that are in there

mine are hose clamped, just like the TRS, hoping to do mine today...was actually getting excited to test run it finally, tested the trim full up as I rebuilt a trim cyl, then got a bite to eat (of course felling "dapper" as in I'm a super star) came back and saw that there was green goodness on the ground....LOL thank goodness the bellow's are good tho

Ok I did them last night, they were original date stamp 1983 0n the hoses, took aprox 2.5 hrs (total for both sides) as the hoses kept cracking off as I grabbed them, I did not need to change the fittings, and got the 1/2 hose from parker (Parker store)
so cost 2.5 hrs and 10.00....each line ended up being 11" (as per the originals)
The key is get that drive as high as you can get it
