I recommend using a heat gun to soften up the hose and minimize damage to the barb.
I had to replace the hoses to my holding tank. I tried combinations of 'hook' removal tool and dremel tool (with the cutoff wheel) to break the hoses loose from the barbs... Heat gun is highly recommended for loosening up a crispy hose.
