Now I have to figure out how to get the stupid thing out. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get it out?
Try at your own risk but I'd find a punch that will fit in the insert and pry in a circular motion until it comes loose.

Alternately you can re-flare the new hose. Just don't forget to put the correct nut on before flaring.
