I was doing a bit of cutting on the side wall to try and fit a turbo when I knicked the brake line that goes directly under the fuse box. I'm wondering if there is any way to put a compression fitting on there or do I really have to replace that entire hard line that goes from under the driver's side all the way to the passenger brake?

Also, is it just a simple matter of bleeding the one brake caliper when I do replace or reconnect the line?

Cheers for the help boys.

You could probably make a compression fitting work. But it would be much better to just replace the line.

If the nicked line is leaking, you would probably need to bleed the entire system. More than likely all the fluid in the reservoir will drain out and that would mean the system needs to be bled.
