Default 2001 Accord Brake Line from Rear Wheel Cylinder

I'm probably asking too much here but maybe someone will be generous with their knowledge....

So I cross threaded the hell out of the metal line going from the driver side rear cylinder to where it meets with the rubber line.

Since I haven't had any luck disconnected that metal line and rubber line (with some clip in between), it looks like I'll be replacing that whole foot and a half or so of line. Only problem is I don't have time to order the OEM parts and when I've checked Advance's stock of brake lines, it's just generic stuff and I'm not sure what I need.

Brake Line Schematic



It looks like the bent metal line is #12 and the rubber line is #3.

Can someone tell me what I would need to pick up from a local auto store to replace that?

Do I just need something like steel line and hose, in the right diameter plus some adapter?

Am I just being naive expecting a quick swap aftermarket line?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help out.

Best would be to simply order/replace from Honda.
Size is most likely metric, measure the length of the steel piece and try and purchase a pre-flared piece that will only require you to bend it.

Thanks for responding Mike.
I ended up getting the metal line and rubber hose off this morning once it was done leaking brake fluid and I could get a grip on it. Took it down to Napa and they found the replacements for me, just had to bend the new steel line.
