It is not a crimp connector, but a large friction-barb. Using a sharp, pointed razor knife, carefully slice the hose down into the metal collar at the injector, the short hose section will easily loosen. Then, place the collar back in place, and push on a proper-length section of the German 7mm hi-pressure injection hose, the barbs that held the original will work the same again. You MUST, however, use the correct 7mm hose. Your FLAPS guys are fullovit.
