If I'm thinking of the same tool, I've used that ell shaped pic type
tool and also the simple straight type for this job. You can get a
similar set like this, image link:

at Harbour Freight though they're not as high a quality IMO (ones with
orange handles) and maybe not as many types in the set. But maybe they
have a better quality set as well?

I guess that for a newb to this job, a tool with sharp point might run
the risk of damaging the old hose but not likely.
