replace, autoparts stores sell lengths of hard line all you do is bend them up. they Have the ends already set up.

the line goes all the way from the front to the rear i would have to replace this whole line? i figured there would be something i could do to clamp thses together?

i don't think you want to try to clamp a high PSI brake line together man.

just get yourself a couple AN fittings and a union. Then learn to use a tubing cutter and double flare tool.

everything can be bought at the parts store

You can cut the line, buy a short piece of hardline and the couplers. Then rent a flare tool from autozone or Oreilly. I bought a flare and bender the other day from Oreilly for less than $20. It's really easy to work with. They sell the couplers there, and i'm not talking about a compression fitting, i'm talking about flare fittings and flaring the brake line.

duct tape!

seriously, just buy a piece w/ couplers and bend it yourself. make sure you buy/rent the bending-flaring tool though - makes life a lot easier!

that looks like a e brake line to me and if it is you dont really need it but if you want it you might have to replace the whole cable
