Default Help, Replacing whole rear trailing arm

My girlfriend recently wrecked my car and totally messed up the back right suspension, so I went to a salvage yard and pulled the whole assembly, rear trailing arm, strut, upper arm, lower A arm. My question is, where I had to cut that damn brake line that comes out of the rear trailing arm, can I unscrew it some how at the base? and re connect the other brake line (on my car currently) back to the rear trailing arm I pulled?

You can see in the picture where I cut it

I'm sorry. WHY did you have to cut the brake cable?

It disconnects from within the drum brake assembly, and can be easily pulled out.
