Jon;
Just finished doing just that tonite to my crewcab. I used an Exacto
knife with a  long sharp point. Slit the section of hose down to the
crimp then extend the slit as far as you can under the crimp with the
sharp point. Grab one of the freshly cut edges with some pliers and peel
out the hose. The crimp now will fall off. You are left with a 7mm barb
to attach the new line to. I used regular hose clamps to secure the line.
I did this last year to my 85GL also with no problem.
Drive Safely & Good Luck
