I repaired my earlier this year. Get the new cuff, cut-off the old one. Add some silicone sealant around 1-2 inches of the threaded portion of the exposed hose and screw the new cuff on nice and tight. Let it cure overnight. BAM!

My hose used the 1.5" cuff, but same principle. Sorry I don't have a pic of the install, but if you look at the part you listed below, it's fairly simple. Just cut the bad cuff off the hose. Then apply some silicone around the end of the hose in those threaded grooves. Maybe about 2-3 rows worth. Then you simply screw the new cuff onto the hose. The silicone will go in between the grooves on the hose and in the cuff. Twist tightly and let it sit overnight.
