Leak in braided SS line for hydraulic throw out bearing

I purchased modern driveline’s hydraulic throw out bearing with slave cylinder/resovior and Tilton hydraulic adjustable bearing.

when I went to bleed the system I realized the elbow was leaking. When I took it apart it was missing a rubber bushing which they mailed to me. Today I reinstalled it and now discovered the braided stainless steel line is leaking. I can see exactly where it’s leaking from in the line.

Is it possible to cut above the leak and reinstall the ends without further issues? I don’t wanna pull the drive line again to replace a the line if I don’t have to.

Thanks,
Chad

If you have the length, it shouldn't be an issue putting a new AN end on. Usually those 3 or 4 size lines are crimped, though. The prefab hoses are cheap enough to buy new, too.
I get your point about not wanting to pull the trans, but it may be easier in the long run. You may as well get some practice.

if it’s a PTFE like like mine…I’m going to cut the line above the leak a put a female AN4 connector there. Looks like it’s coming from China…so might take a bit to get it
