It only cae off the caxliper and looks sort of liek i can just maybe push it back on? How do the earls stanless brake likes go on? Can i just push it back on and crimp it or is the line shot since it got ripped off?

i wouldnt try to "mend" this problem... brakes are a very important part of the car... acutally THE most important.

Considering the pressures in the lines, i would not do so.

See if you cant find a place that will make a line for you. Or just buy a new set of SS lines. what are they, 90 something?
I would search through the phone book, or online to see if you cant find a place that dose custom hoses.
SHOcontiniental had a pair of hose made for fairly cheap....

It will most definitly leak.

I had my SS lines made for 38$ shipped. Contact Earls, send your line out to them. If it cannott be repaired... just replace it.

They may be compression fitted but I would doubt they will hold once they are damaged. Not something you want to leave to chance.
