that’s one of the two hardlines attached to the steering rack.

they’re usually rusted and difficult to remove without stripping them… vice grips worked well for me.

You should try posting a WTB thead and see if you can get one that doesn’t leak.

rent a flaring tool, get 2 new fittings and bend up your own. total cost maybe 15$ if that.
