    Cut it. But if you are using that ell about the only way to get that crimp collar off is to cut it away using a small pair of wire snips. Once off, you could use a small hose clamp to fasten the line back on.

    brettmf,
    Think THE ICEMAN meant elbow, he's right it's a one time use crimp, you can cut the metal collar off, slice old hose off with knife, slide new hose on, use new hose clamp and your good.
