Leave well alone!
It can be done with a corrugated hose but they are poor quality these days.
Get a spare one just in case but replace it with a section of heater hose when you have the head off.

buy a silicone one or get a section of quality heater hose and new clips and keep in your glovebox. It will then last for years as is
The corrugated ones are HOPELESS only use is to get you home then should be replaced immediately....
