wrap tightly with masking tape, 3-4 wraps.
Use cutoff wheel or chop saw
slide collar over fresh cut hose
blow debris out of hose with compressed air, give a quick brush to the inside, blow out again
use plenty of WD-40 or similar spray lube while torquing fitting
Don't worry, the next one will turn out better.
