You'll have to remove it and replace both lines, its not hard, don't be intimidated. Just do a search "supercharger coolant lines", you'll come across a number of threads...here's one that'll probably answer what you want. Gopi went into some detail, so I started you on page 2...https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...-160413/page2/
I also wrapped mine with foil when I did mine the first of the year. Pay attention to post #34 where he shows the hose size difference and my reply in #35.

So far, the coolant reservoir and manifold, are off. Bolts loosened for top of SC just finding my way around the engine bay. Snapped line to radiator DOH! Should've disconnected it from the start...sigh...had to stop due to rise in temperature outside. Becoming a bit much to work in...a little ways to go but it's getting there 😀 think I will just remove SC and throttle body to get the hoses out.

You'll want to check your pulleys and tensioners and if you need any new its real easy to just replace the bearing...https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...F8&psc=1...and much cheaper. I used a socket and a persuader to knock it out and back in, goes smooth and quick. I believe that bearing works on all the pulleys? Hopefully someone can verify that who has done them all?
I have a new supercharger belt available if you need one, just pm me.

...use fingernail to push o-ring in then gently pull. Jaguar...really? At least I know now so I'm passing it along.

Update:Temporary field patch on norma connector at water manifold...clipped hard line off at snapped connector end, used a cylindrical stereo wire connector with metal inside and pushed into hard line so it sits snugly, cut rubber hose to size, clamped onto end. Metal inside stereo connector keeps hard line from compressing. No leaks. This will keep you going until the new connector arrives...
