i tried to replace the r/front brake hose and caliper and in the process of doing so i snapped the end off the metal part of the brake line that screws into the brake hose.
I know i cant get a complete new line from the master to the hose in the wheel well so whats the best way to fix the metal line so i can install a new hose and get her going...any detailed help would be appreciated...
brake line from the auto parts store and join it with a coupling.
could always bend up a replacement line

Here are your options:
-Buy a new steel line at the parts store, bend it to fit and replace the entire line from master to hose.
-Buy a special double flare tool. Cut the old line at an easy to get to spot. Install a new nut, double flare and use a union to join it to a new small section of line to go to the hose.
-Install a new nut on your existing broken line and double flare and try to re-bend your stock line to reach your hose.
DO NOT USE A COMPRESSION FITTING TO REPAIR OR SPLICE A BRAKE LINE!!
Well... i ended up getting a new nut and double flaring and got it back on the new hose.
Im sure im gonna have to replace the entire lines sooner or later, i noticed the lines kinda make circles under the master cyl. as they go out, when i get new line and bend do i need to do the same ?
