Quick brake line replacement question.
During my front end rebuild, I discovered a good size crack in the flexible line to my passenger side caliper. I also stripped the nuts on the steel tube running to the flexible hose. Can I go down to the local part store and get replacement flexible brake lines, or do I need to special order one to fit my car? with the steel lines, can I cut the end, install a new nut and re-flare the end? If I have to replace the line, again is it something available from the local store or do I special order? First time working with brake lines, so I'm learning as I go. I've got the right wrenches now, so I shouldn't strip out anymore nuts.

yes you can get the rubber brake hoses....may be cheaper to by a set of 4 though and replace all of them....and steel braided lines are really nice
