Yeh, if the hoses are hard, slit length-ways with a razor to get them off the barbs - new hose is soft and pliable - even more so if ends dipped in hot water (can be useful in cold weather).

50 year old hose? Not so much.

Unless they're clogged of course, which is pretty likely. Same for the check valves.

Cut the old hose and see if you can blow through them. Be grateful, if they're clogged, that the unheated middie/SC washer jets are so much cheaper than the heated 3.2 ones

Fun fact; the washer jets are a little ball in a socket - can be aimed exactly where you want them with a pin. I can't be the only one who never knew that...
