Hydraulic hose breakage

Well, looks like I've sprung a leak Captain!!

Seems the return hose connected on the back side of my Hydraulic pump for the convertible top has popped out at the connection point. Being this a hydraulic hose, I gather there is no way to repair it at the connection point and I would have to have it completely rerun to the front?? any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

rear seats etc have to come out but not too bad a job. When I did mine last year I used the upgraded hoses from Top Hydraulics - so far all good.
