If I were going to get picks for that purpose, I would buy a couple of screwdrivers,
both long shank, of 1/4 and 1/8 inch head, and heat the shank so you could bend
the first inch or less, back to about a reverse 45 degree angle (or tighter). Bend it
so the flat will face the shank, and round off the head a bit so it wouldn't rip up the
hose. A pointed pick tends to tear up the hose, and it is about as easy to use a
knife to remove the hose then. I think I am going to try this myself.

I always just slice the hose off with a utility knife. Old stiff hoses usually aren't worth saving anyway. Just replace them.
When I work on anything I buy new hoses and slime up the inside with silicone dielectric grease, then they come right off.
