The only "hose" that could have snapped her eis the hydraulic clutch line but thats rather a pipe than a hose .... 

You dont need a great amount of tools for a clutch change .... you will need:

- set of metric wrenches
- socket set
- a few extensions and swivels for those darn  tranny top bolts
- tranny jack. Which you can rent for like $20 a day.
- torque wrench
- loctite, grease

All in all that will cost no more than $200.

If you can work on suspension then you can change your clutch.

What clutch fid you decide to get?

As Mike said ... the V6 isnt known to be a Power monster so dont be concerned with ultimate clamp power... I went with Kevlar for durability as (before) I changed the clutch the first time I dreaded that job.  But once you have done it a few times it isnt that bad

I dont want to bad mouth anybody but it is AMAZING what shops, screw up    Do it yourself, do it right.

Just a little story.... When Toyota changed my had gasket (recall  ) i had them put ina new timing belt.  What I didnt know is that the mechanic dropped a screw down the timing belt cover  , which was grabbed by the belt and launched halfways through the plastic cover. The part of the screw that did not penetrate the cover ground on my belt, effectively cutting it in half... Nice work!

PS. My OEM clutch lasted 140.000 km not 1400 .... my pilot bearing lasted 220.000 km but was done when I took it out.
