How do I replace the hose with only a half an inch gap between the two metal pipes coming from the block and water pump?

To tell you the truth, the water pump is supposed to be removed but I have done them by applying a little silicone grease to the fitting and taking the hose and fold it in half and push down on it between the fittings.

Thank you very much for responding. That's what I was afraid of! Well I know what I'm doing for Christmas. Have a great holiday.
