It depends on what the tie wrap was sealing.

Tie wraps do not fully encompass the tubing at the lock end. This could potentially allow a leak at the area of less clamping pressure. Smaller tubing is more risky, but of course it depends on what you're clamping and the line pressure.

I can see your point. However this is a non-pressurized hose...

I certainly realize that. Tie wraps under the hood of any vehicle look like a half-assed 'fix'.... IMHO.

I am sadly not handy at all.

Can I get the u joints greased and the rear diff changed at a shop/ dealer (i know, i know), or is this strictly do it yourself, or pay out the nose?

Don't be intimidated by that. It's nearly as easy as changing oil in a lawnmower. There is a step-by-step guide to go by (use the search button) so you will know what to expect.
