2007 Mini Cooper Base. What started as a routine brake/route job has turned into a nightmarish project. While I was unscrewing the brake hose from the hard brake line on the rear passenger side, the fitting on the hard brake line twisted off and I'm not sure how to fix it. Should I replace the entire line or can I cheat and patch in a replacement line? When I was trying to trace the hardline, it looks like it's going to be a huge PITA to replace, but that's just from eyeballing it will on jack stands.

Also, the bolt that holds the rotor to the hub is seized, so that's another fun project. After some PB Blaster and a hit with the impact gun, it's still not budging. Thank you, Wisconsin winters!

TIA!

 

Brakes are important and if you are not sure how to fix it, then take it to somebody who does. Cheat and patch a break line...? Ohhhh boy.
