splicing leaking brake line

well since this is automotive, i have never used copper or brass tube. braided lines use AN fittings that are a 37* not 45* and are put together not flared. i use them as well. I would not use aluminum myself, but that is a personal preference.

but all in all, this thread started asking how to fix the broken line. yes, if you can remove it from the car, that would be best. if not, get someone to help you so you do it once and do it right.
