I tried the hacksaw technique as well and failed. The only success I found was using a pair of good lineman pliers to cut the hose. The hose still needs to be taped. Using lineman pliers is only half the story. Once I squeezed as hard as I could by hand, I put the cutting end of the pliers in my vise and let the vise do the rest of the work. If you hit the handle with a hammer while it is on something solid the extra force will cut right through as well. It is a little more dangerous than the vise routine.

Good luck
