I'm assuming that when you say "faucets to the hoses" you mean the
shutoffs.

If there is a shut-off prior to this one (I doubt it) turn it off. If
not, turn off the house main.

Once that's done "Go for it"! If something breaks, you'll know what
you need to buy to fix it.

I suggest you start this in the morning so you have all day to chase
down parts. Worst case is you might have to cap off the pipe leading
to the shutoff so you can turn the water back on.
