Looking through different posts on Pex and soft hose as I really don't like the off-brand soft hose so am reading through some great information - but haven't seen the removal method I would up using mentioned so thought I'd share it. (apologies if it's been shared and I missed it!)
Using a small pair of dikes I pried where the outer ring locks onto the inner ring which then allowed me to then unwind the overlapping ring and free the fitting from the hose. Did have to use a razor knife to get the soft hose off of the fitting. Definitely like that it's pretty gentle on the fitting. Picture below with a new & "unwrapped" crimp band.
Hope this helps!
