Hi-its a ZOOM HB-875 HB875 MTB hydraulic disc brake set.  I tried using a wrench to pull the hose out...no luck...it twists in the lever but doesn't pull out.  At this point I'd just cut the hose and install new but that won't help with getting the portion of hose inside the lever out.  I'll swing by the LBS today and see if they can shed any light on the issue.

Totally understood, but here's the thing-I know I can run both cables without housing inside the frame....what I really need is a way to have both housings 'interface' with the existing frame holes.  I still have the bike on the stand (haven't ridden yet).  I plan on looking at going to a 1x setup but for now I'm 10x3. I currently have both shimano housings going to the upper and lower holes using the rubber boots included with the housings.....does this change anything?
