Heater Hose Assembly Removal? Firewall Hoses

Hi everyone,

The barb at this connection (in red) broke and I have to replace it, but it looks like the whole hose assembly comes in one piece connected together.
I think I get to all the connections, except for the ones leading to the heater core, against the firewall (in yellow).

It looks almost impossible to get through the top of the engine compartment.

Is it accessible through the bottom if I jack the car up?

Or does anyone have any resources like a tutorial link or another thread that show how to remove the whole assembly and install the new one?

If it's too difficult, I was also thinking about cutting that long tube (in blue), and coupling the new Y section to it.

Thanks for any help I can get.
