Oil Cooler Lines -- Help, What Options Do I Have?

Hello All,
My upper oil cooler line seems to be leaking and making quite a mess. Obviously it needs replacing, but the price of $170 seems very steep! I have heard of the following being done:
-Cut the crimps with a dremel and install a new hose with hose clamps. Seems the easiest, but is this okay on a high pressure hose? Can it be done with the fitting in-place? Where would I get bulk hose that is compatible?
-Remove hose and take to a machine shop for a rebuild (this would save money, but I would be without a car for the day)
-Order a used hose. It could also be a leaker, and I don't really trust recking yard guys not to destroy the fittings.
-Drop $170 and get a new one.
What is the consensus on the best option?
Also, does any one have any advice for removing the old one, the fittings make me nervous and location of the fitting near the oil filter looks tough!
Thanks for any and all help!
Craig
