Brake Line Leak

My front drivers side break line has sprung a leak and guess how I found out. It appears to be coming from the flexiable line into the caliper. How hard of a job is this to replace?

Not bad at all. But if these are the original stock rubber lines, then you may as well do both sides while you are at it. Pull off the tire. As I recall an 11 mm wrench to disconnect the bolt at the banjo fitting where it enters the caliper. A screwdriver to remove the clip at the middle and a wrench to remove the fitting from the hard line. Just remember to bleed the brake lines when you are done. Also a good time to flush the brake fluid if it hasn't been done within the last 2 years. Good luck, Lon.
