DO NOT CUT THRU THE GOLD FERRULE!  You can, but then you have to clamp
there.  Cut the hose out of the ferrule and push new piece in.  It is
desig=ned to stay on....Very nice hose barb is on the end of the injector.
That is if you are using the correct size hose as replacement.

  Subject: fuel injector hoses

     Ok how do I remove the hoses from my fuel injectors, all four injectors
are new as of a few years ago, but I want to replace the short hose from the
injector to the fuel rail.  The short hoses appear to be crimped onto the
fuel injecors.  There is no adjustable clamp like is found on every other
junction in the fuel system, just the little gold ring that the fuel hose
terminates under.  Do I just need to pull much harder on the hose, or does
this gold ring need to be cut off and replaced with a clamp.
