/diy/ - Do It Yourself

so while trying to get a hose off my heater core, I stupidly bent/squashed the pipe where the hose is attached via a clamp. I tried to "re-round" the pipe but I couldn't get it completely round. I imagine the hose is not making full contact with the pipe because I developed a small leak of coolant in there

Is there a way I can make that tube round again ? I can't slide the hose more inwards since there's a ring on the pipe that prevents me from doing so. I know I could get another clamp in there and hope for the best, but I want to see if I can fix the tubing first

thanks
