11' six inch exhaust hose replace

So we have a new to us 2005 Mainship 400 with a Cummins 5.9 and are working through our list of needed repairs. The 1st one is to replace the 11' long, 6" exhaust hose from the engine to the muffler. The existing 1 has cracked where the hose does a 30 degree turn, And our surveyor recommended that we replace it. We have the new and expensive hose in hand, and can remove the old hose With a bit of muscle and hacksaw work. But we are struggling with how we can install the new hose. Not having any experience with this, This seems like a difficult task to push the hose on to one of the nipples, bend the hose, and then try to get the other end onto the Engine nipple. The hose is 6" hard wall and not Very flexible. We are hesitant to pull off the old hose until we can figure out how to install the new. Pictures attached. Any assistance is appreciated. The 1st photo shows the crack at the turn.Click image for larger version
