Well since there's no such size as round so it sounds like your size is vice grip. Take the nut off the hose at the frame and hold the nut on the line with vice grips. Thread the hose off of the line or just replace the line. You should have used a 7/16" line wrench.

I bought a set of line wrench crows feet just for that job.  when you get it fixed, I'd buy a set, they made it super easy.  I got mine from napa for like $16 for a whole set.
