you can splice a new shorter piece in… vs removing the tank and replacing the entire line..

When replacing the front passenger rubber brake line on my 1999 C2 996, I misthreaded the hard line bolt.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Luckily It worked as the hard line bolt was not damaged!
When replacing the front passenger rubber brake line on my 1999 C2 996, I misthreaded the hard line bolt. The brake fluid is leaking.
I think the only solution would be to replace this hard-line (part# 99635517608) but I can't find a DYI for this job.

Is it really necessary to pull the gas tank?
Your help will be appreciated!
I cant picture the exact fitting, but you may be able to cut it out, put a new fitting on, and flare the end. I made cusom hard lines for my rally car like this (ran all brake lines inside the car instead of underneath, and had a hydraulic ebrake).
I love this forum and would like to thank you guys for your answers!
Unfortunately, connecting brake lines with a compression fitting is illegal in California. As I was not ready to drop the fuel tank in my driveway, I was thinking following the slice advice.

You should be able to cut the threaded nut off as close to the end as poss, just cut the flare off with a dremmel, then remove the threaded bolt, fit New bolt, re flare and away you go, should be enough in the hard line to allow this, flaring kits on eBay, get a hand held one designed to be used in situ!
