the best way to go get a piece of 6 inch or so pre made line it will be double flared on both ends then cut out the old section and double flare both ends and use 2 unions

When you are doing the above repair, loosen the clamps that hold the line so you can move things around and be ready to get covered in brake fluid.
try to rent a flair tool kit as good ones can run pretty expensive and it's the kind of tool that you might not ever use again.
