Got all new brakes and a hole in the hard line

[gannett43]

Bought a full car brake kit from Bavauto everything is ready but i have a hole in the hard brake line from rust where the hard line meets the soft line. i had the caliper off and let the fluid drain out. im assuming now theres air in the system i have to replace one caliper(rear left) and try to just patch the hard line to just drive it across town to get it replaced. (Figured i would wrap the hole in thin sheet metal and seal around it with JB Weld) Now to put on the caliper and patch the line after thats done what should i do. Havent bled brakes before but can get the one man system from bavauto, but bleed everything and then should i be alright ?

The pressure bleeder is foolproof. I consider it a staple. Instructions will come with it. Super simple.

I would not trust that repair attempt, even to just drive across town. Replacing a hard line isn't that difficult. If you can't do the job yourself, have the car transported to a shop.

yeah i was trying to avoid the price of the tow but ill bite the bullet and let my mechanic do the bleeding, theres no point. My e brake isn't affected by any of these things correct? Because i believe its my rear left caliper that is locking up the car from moving, i was thinking just take the caliper off and having it free roll for the tow. getting a flatbed of course but just for loading.

It seems your hydraulic system is seriously challenged. if I were you I would change all hard lines.
