Fuel Injector hose leaking

[JJCAPE]

I have an 81 spider and noticed that the hose on the first fuel Injector was leaking .... if I try and replace just the hose how do I get the old one out and how do I get that strange looking flared piece of of metal holding the hose in the rail and at the bottom of the Injector ( sorry for my ignorance I just don't know how to get it off) ... 2nd Idea would be to replace the the injector itself and if I do that do I need some sort of tool or does it pop out ??

Thanks for any help

My feeling on this: If one hose is leaking and all the hoses appear the same vintage they all should be changed. This is a good time to have the fuel injectors professionally serviced, cleaned internal filters and pintles replaced and flow matched.
I think its easiest to remove the entire fuel rail with hoses and injectors attached to work on it on a work bench off the car.

I replaced the injectors on my father's '81 within the past year and they all came with that short section of hose attached, thus I am not familiar with that side of the connection. As for the hose-to-rail connection, I remember being a bit intimidated by that metal flange piece as I was worried about damaging it. Clearly, I got it off somehow...getting the whole rail on the bench would help.
Regarding that, getting the injectors out to remove the rail will require only some dexterity and a small wrench. There is something like an 8mm nut holding down a retainer on each injector. Once those are removed, some wiggling and pulling will get the injectors out. Then you search the floor for the nuts you dropped.

Thanks so much for the help.... I did some more reading and it looks like I might be able to just change the hose that's leaking ... because the injector was working it just has a vacume leak from the hose .... I think.., hahah
