Need help with B5 a4 front brake lines

[rice_Rocket88]

So I went to tackle the brake lines for the fronts since they are starting to crack. I went to town on it and managed to mangle the steel brake line going to the caliper.

Does someone sell only that brake line.. and does anyone have a good idea how to get this one out? I managed to destroy part of the nut using a 11mm flare nut wrench... quite amazing actually.

Now I'm debating how the heck I'm going to fix it. The other end of the brake line broke free without any effort, just the side at the caliper.

Any help would be appreciated, or even a shop in MA that might be able to deal with it quickly without me paying an arm and a leg and leaving the car there for a day.

You'll either need to replace the entire hard line, or simply cut it, and reflare the end with a new fitting.
Audi uses bubble flares on the hardlines, which do require a special flaring tool. The replacement hardlines are available through your local dealership.

Rats... I was hoping there is a better way to get them off.

I already ordered a set of replacement front steel lines.. $13.50 each from the dealer.

I only hope that it comes out easier from the caliper. Any brute force methods to get them to break free?
