I busted the brake line at the fitting on the left rear flex hose, and it seems it connects to the line that goes all the way to the front of the car, is there anyway to fix this without buying a whole new brake line? Need this fixed asap. Such as fixing a fuel line where you kinda just get some high pressure hose, and some clamps, let me know guys.

You'll need a flaring tool and a few parts, better just take it to a brake shop.
NEVER use hose and clamps with brake lines.
It just can't hold the extreme pressures.

that was more of an example, was thinking of splicing into the line, cut the line then get one female one male nipple and connect them, that should work no? Because i'd have to drop the front subframe etc. To get at the brake line, not worth it.

Like said before you can cut it farther back use a flaring tool and connect a new piece of line

ok, next question is can i use just 1 male and 1 female end to connect the lines, or would i have to use to male ends and connect them both into a fitting that has two female ends? What works better?

someone has got to know the size of the brake lines in a 92 civic, don't mean the length, need the diameter so i can fix my brakes finally. Let me know guys please, thanks.
