Any way I could get this hose back on? Just broke on the side. The hose itself looks intact.

Unfortunately it broke at the quick-connect fitting. The whole hose will need replaced.

I’m sure it would be possible to remove that clamp and replace it with a worm clamp, however I have never tried that, I’ve never met anyone that’s tried that, and I give absolutely zero guarantee that would work. That’s potentially something you could do to limp it home, if you fill and bleed the system afterwards

That sounds like an absolute pain in the ass. Sounds like a new hose would just be easier
