Default Where to buy brake lines?

My 1998 ZR2 left front brake line rusted through at the hose connection and now I need to replace it. I got a new hose on from AutoZone, new banjo bolt, new bleeder screws.

My question is where do I get a new brake line? The brake lines go into the ABS unit, and that adapter is a different diameter (larger) than the adapter that screws into the hose by the wheel.

Also, any tips for removing the bolt that holds on the bracket to the upper a-arm? I cant get a wrench behind the a-arm, plus the bolt head is so rusted.

Thanks!

I would try NAPA or Carquest. You can probably make the line yourself if you get a flair tool... it's really not that hard to do.
Just grind the bolt off and replace with a new one.
