First time posting on any forum, so thanks in advance for welcoming me and any help. My right rear hard brake was damaged Saturday at Gulches. Thanks to Suzanne and Joe from lowcountry wranglers for the trail side help. Now how do I fix the hard line and connector into the soft lines
 
You might tell us the year of your Jeep and maybe a picture of the damage so we are thinking the same thing. Not sure if all the years JK and JL are the same.

2015 JKU, attached are pictures of the hard metal clamped, soft line extended out form union and the actual union in which the brake line seperated from.

This appears to be hard tubing all the way back to the master cylinder/reservoir? Is there not just a way to connect ot the existing tubing with a longer flexible line?

If you have a flaring tool to make the proper flare on the end of the steel line you might be able to repair it. Or you could use a steel tube connector and splice a new section from a new line.
