Thanks for the advice. My hoses dont look very cracked or worn, and the greenbrier's problem of pulling to the right has somewhat remedied itself for the time being. I bought the two hoses anyway, and if they can get here in time then I will bring them to the next meeting along with fluid. My rear taillight problem has also fixed itself again. Its been popping on and off scince I bought the greenbrier.
