Well for a quick get you going fix. you can cut the bad hose. Remove the other hose and then use a nipple and worm gear clamps to put the two together. It bypasses the heater but can get you back on the rode again.

It looks to me as though a special tool is required to disconnect the Hoses at the heater core
