I tried pulling it out but can't get much grip on it.... I'll grab a friend to give me a hand i guess

Do you mean the end of the hose tore when you were halfway through, or the hose ripped at mid-length? If it's the former, then yeah, just pull it back out. I had to do that and I had my frame strapped to my truck and it took two guys to yank it back out. Make sure you're thoroughly, thoroughly, thoroughly lubricating your hose and the frame tube. If you think you have enough, use more. I think they're recommending Liquid Wrench Silicone Spray these days. Plan on using half a can on each side (if not more).
If it's the latter... you're going to need a new hose.

I had to pull my hose out after I got a pin hole in it dropping the engine/transmission down. To give me something with more grip, I left one of the hose to hose connectors in and used a pair of vice grips on the connector, sacrificing it. Was able to pull it out on my own this way.

I broke the hose like 4 times. I used 1/4 in rope. I think that was only part of the problem.
I cut too much of an angle in the hose.
It was very cold outside too when i pulled the hoses through.
I ended up stuffing a deep socket into the hose and running the rope through the socket then zip tied the crap out of it.
Worked well
