Guys trust me the line is broken. The metal brake line. Not the hose. Its snapped, i need another one. Who has had to replace the lines themselves?

Or you can take you old line to a hose shop and they can bend and flair a new line. To save you a trip to the pick n pull. There are two in Livermore that I know of. Tri valley hose off Vasco or accurate auto care on first st.

double flaring brake lines correctly isn't as easy as you think. if you needed to ask this question then i wouldn't recommend you flaring it yourself.
hurting your feelings is correct though, it can be fixed if you know what you're doing.

You don't even need to double flare. There are fittings you can screw on to the hard line that do all of the work for you.

Why not unscrew the line. And go to pnp and get another stock line.

Getting a new line sounds easy but most lines are not pre bent or may not have the fittings you need for it to work.

I don't know what he needs but I'm assuming it's just the short lines as in just the passenger N driver side ones not the ones that go along the frame.

don't mess with trying to fix a broken brake line. Just buy a used one at pnp and save yourself some headache.

Thanks for the help guys the line that was broken was the one that runs along the frame. I got it on and the car is braking again so now she can brake without using another car or tree
