Think that piece is called the "olive" - I cracked a bunch...
I'd have to trim the line before the olive then pry it off. Every time it would deform so I'd have to whack it back to round w/ a hammer. Try the electrical tape idea, otherwise I'm sure a NAPA would have one or somethin.

They do, they are called threads.
I have pushed 24psi(k03), 23psi (T28) and 21psi(K04) all on the same hose/fitting/wire tie setup without any issues. I have seen my friend push 35psi with it the same way on his drag 10 second civic.

well I don't care what you and your civic buddy are doing.....
I don't get the warm fuzzy feeling...and I like the warm fuzzy feeling 
I didn't say it didn't work, I just said I like having the hose barb geometry.
