Subject:How do you replace the hose from the coolant overflow tank?!!

Do any of you syncronauts know how to replace the hose from the coolant
expansion tank to the coolant overflow tank???    Mine needs to be replaced.
at one end of the tube there's a simple hose clamp which is easy to
disconnect, but at the other end theres a crimped metal piece that holds the
hose noto the "nipple" of the plastic tank.  I'm afraid I'd damage the
plastic nipple in trying to uncrimp this connection.  Any ideas??    I'm
hoping you dont have to replace the whole tank, just to change the hose!
Thanks, Peter
