Well, maybe my high pressure hoses have been different, but both of my wagons have blown out this hose. I do not remember the ends being removable at all. I took both to a hydraulic hose shop. They cut the ends off and braised them to new hoses. Around $50 or $60 bucks.
No need to do anything with the bleeder screw, it will self bleed.
Dang, sorry it happened out on the road. I would recommend that folks replace this hose when they get their wagons if no sign of previous replacement. The originals seem like they are of about the age to blast off......
