Are you even contemplating doing this yourself? If so, get a 10mm flare nut wrench and douse that bitch in PB blaster or some other penetrating lube and let it soak.
If you're just looking for a quote, I would guess something like between $80-$90 for the line and probably a couple hours labor to install and bleed the lines out. Plus whatever they charge you for shop supplies or whatever other bullshit they can come up with. You're probably looking at $300 or so. As opposed to $75 for a new line. It's up to you, I guess.

Swapping the hard line isn't too bad. Bleeding the system afterwards can be a pain.
