If you weren't doing the other work, he wouldn't have told you to replace it, but since it's going to be "messed with", it's a smart idea to replace it while you or he are there.

Other than some real OCD types, I don't think anyone replaces hoses as maintenance parts anymore.

I totally agree. When I did my wife's water pump, I undid the lower rad hose to let it drain. When I put it back exactly as it came off, it leaked. Defied common sense. Techically? You're not supposed to even reuse those hose clamps that are under tension. They're usually open the entire time the job is being done (water pump).
