George, replace your hoses.  If the outside has deteriorated, then the insi=
de is as well.  My aircraft also had 15 year old hoses that were falling ap=
art.  I redid all of the hoses and when I took the pump apart for an overha=
ul, I found black residue all over the inside of the pump and resevoir.  I =
would suggest you check your pump and cylinders as well.  The degrading lin=
es destroyed all of the seals in my gear door cylinders, which I had to reb=
uild.  The main cylinders were already rebuilt a year before, and the seals=
 were still good.  The hoses are cheap to make.  i am still cleaning out bl=
ack pieces from my system.  Even though the filter on the pump caught alot =
of it, the spool valve was still covered.  I was amazed the gear still work=
