You can pinch the hose a few inches behind with some flat, long channel-locks and re-cut the end of the hose and replace.
There will be leakage from the radiator side but it won't be that much.
The tricky part is bleeding the system once you've refilled it.
There's a procedure using the pressure relief valve.
All the air MUST be bled out otherwise you could end up dumping ALL the collant after your next hard run.

Isn't there too much fluid in the lines to use a long channel-lock? I tried squeezing the line some where the fluid is and there wasn't much to squeeze,although I wasn't trying hard and didn't want to puncture anything.
I can pick up the channel-lock at a local hardware or auto parts store correct?
Now when you say re-cut the end of the hose. You mean to cut it and replace it if it's faulty correct?
