Why? I just replaced the short -12 hose on the end of that tube. The tube is lighter than hose, bolts well to the engine, and has the R-12 service port you need. It isn't hard to cut off the collar-crimps. I just used a hacksaw at the end, air cut-off wheel axially, and pried it off w/ screwdriver's and pliers.
