I stripped the head off the outlet, dont really know what to do. Is there enough slack to where I can cut and re-flare without having to extend the line, or I figure my other line of action is to get about a foot of braided line, cut the hard line, put a new fitting on, reflare the line, then put the braided line in place of where I cut. What size fitting is comming out of the filter, and can I get that at a napa-ish place?

Thanks for any help guys!
