The cowl will pass the wiper arm when you remove the small piece below the arm. If the hose/fitting is broken, you may have to replace the whole hose assembly. It is nearly impossible to replace individual parts. There are two metal clips under the cowl that hold it in place. The ends are extremely brittle, and will break with little provocation. I keep spares for that part. You should be able to remove the screws under the hood seal, and just lift the cowl to access the hose manifold.
