I was afraid of that. Those ends have to be split w/ a sharp razor knife to remove.
I would suggest you download a 90-93 Accord manual from Online Manuals post in DiY forum. I think there are several options.
I've never done this job, so can't offer any advice beyond shop manual.
I checked youtube and there are several "accord heater core replacement" videos. Check these out.
I think yours will not be much different than this video.
Here is Billy Jim Bob's version:
good luck

I too have a damaged heater core tube, the previous owner managed to some how smash the end with a pliers or something so its oval shaped. Is it possible to fix this car is a 1992 lax well the body is any how...

The tube is thin brass material and easy to deform if you're trying to remove a heater hose.
You might try inserting needle nose pliers and carefully expanding to remove oval shape. If you get it pretty close you may be able to get a seal on hose end w/ help of some RTV sealant.
