So, long story short'ish, i was try to separate the brake line where it hit the wheel cylinder/drum and since it is a bit rusty and i am unlucky instead of just the nut getting lose, the brake line twisted and it tore a small hole before i noticed



I have two main questions...
What should I do short term? (patch the hole, disable rear brakes, or ________)
And what should i do long term? (Cut the end off and add a new flare, make/get a new brake line, or ________)
I am concerned that if/when i undo the connection from the rubber brake line to the metal one on the suspension it will give me troubles as well.
I do have a flaring tool kit (never used it though)
The nut is quite rounded, so it is a good idea to replace it. (Vise-grips work well)
Thanks for your time
