probably be best to change out the coolant. Im not sure you can change the hose without having coolant leak all over the place. Assuming it's your radiator hose id change the upper and lower at the same time. samco has some great hoses.

oh and make sure when you install the hoses that they are not anywhere near the pulleys on the motor. happened to me and ripped a whole into the hose causing a leak .... pretty unfortunate situation.....
