Solenoid bypass fail

I attempted to do a solenoid bypass and the pick tool ended up tearing the vacuum tubes. I thought I could cut off those ends and stretch the hoses or buy new ones. Does anyone know the diameter of those hoses and anything else I should be aware of when replacing those?

Its just vacuum hose. Auto parts stores sell it by the foot.

When I did he bypass I just cut the hose off and didn't try pulling it off. Had enough to cut everything and put it back to stock once. If I were to do it again then I would have to buy more hose.
I plan on replacing all my vacuum hoses, it isn't very expensive.

I have the JB+ and running it at 100% makes my car run like shiiii. I'm reading that the solenoid bypass helps with this problem. I tried to do the bypass and that's when I ripped those hoses. Turned it down to 75%, much more stable, but once in awhile I would get a weird drop in HP in higher RPMs. Turned down to 65ish and so far so good. Wondering if I get this bypass thing working and crank it to 90% I will find the G spot for this mod.
