Brakes problem
1993 Chevy Cheyenne

I avoided an accident and in the process my break line going to the rear breaks sprang a good size leak. I need to know if I can repair myself. Thanks for any feedback.

you should be able to repair it yourself. If you have to shorten it then you will need a tool to put a double flare on it as brake lines use double not single flares. Also DO NOt under any circumstances use a compression fitting anywhere to connect any lines. Use a connecter otherwise you will cause the brake to hang up and wear very quickly.
