Use a hammer to tap one end off and then cut down the tube and rubber cover. The end can be a tight fit so may need some persuasion to drive it off. The end is really tough so won’t be damaged by a bit of hammering. Be careful when trimming the rubber covering as it’s easy to cut it too short. As they say  measure twice and cut once. 🙂

Ok, thanks will give it a try, it is very very tight....hope I don’t damage it... 😮😮

Sometimes they are a very tight fit. Probably burrs where they cut the ali tube. 🤔

Once you break it loose the end will come off much easier.
