Default My brakes exploded

This evening I pulled my handbrake and heard a pop. After that the brake pedal felt spongey and the brakes we less effective. I pulled the handbrake again to see if the rear brakes were screwed and the car began pulling to the left. When I got back home I took the wheel off to see if the drum was acting normal, and got this video.

I already have new shoes and hardware that I ordered a couple months ago. Looks like I'm getting new cylinders now 😅. While I'm in there I want to replace the hard line that goes to the cylinder. Each line is like 60 bucks on majestic honda which is insane so I'd like to custom bend a line. Does anyone know what size flare nuts are on this piece. 9 and 12. Thanks for the help and listening to my misadventure
