it can become very tricky depending on how old your brake lines are and how corroded to remove the line from the master and the caliper.

Probably be easier to cut out the rusted portion and patch/splice it.

Running a whole new line can be costly like mentioned before…mainly because you get into the fear of damaging the surrounding brake and gas lines. They have a habit of corroding into one giant lump.
