Default 1998 XJ8 - broken wiper fluid hose

There's a small hose that carries wiper fluid to the windshield wiper. The hose is still connected at the wiper end, but the other end where it connects just below the windshied broke away. Is this an easy fix? Should I try it or leave it up to my mechanic. I'm not overly handy when it comes to my car. (And yes, that gets expensive).

Thanks,
Gary

Gary:
Give it a try- Just twist the hose before you pull on it to break it loose. And dont pull to the side, only straight back so as not to break the hose barb. Start small, and soon you will have confidence to tackle the big stuff! Confidence and Tools...
