So is it an easy fix?
So when getting my 9 bolt ready I noticed the hard lines that go from the splitter to the calipers that the passenger side was ripped from the PO trying to remove it to get a clean remove but ended up twsting it and causin g it to split. It split where the fitting goes into the T splitter then to the brake line that runs with the fuel lines.
Should it be an easy fix? Can I just cut it a bit further and then use a fitting for the T splitter and then from the line cut to merge them? Should the fitting be easy to get and probably be carried at a local parts store like Autozone or Napa?
Thanks,
Carlos.

Get a new chunk of brake line and replace it. You'll appreciate doing it the correct way the first time somone pulls out in front of you.

Are you talking about compression fittings? I use them all they're time and I love the ease and convenience of them.
