Yes, I can reach the plastic nuts. And the existing hoses look long
enough to do as I described.

I am doing all this because last time I replaced some rubber parts to

If they are flexible hoses, unless they are only a few years old,
I'd replace them. HD, etc has them in various lengths, they don't
cost much.
