I just noticed that I nicked one of the brake lines when repairing my driver side shock tower a few weeks ago. There's some fluid leaking when pressing the brake. It looks like it'll be PITA to replace without taking out the engine. So what are my options? Can they be replaced? Would an ABS delete be easier?
 
1) Replace the entire line. See if you can get the line from the dealer, or make your own.
2) Cut the line and use a compression fitting (not sure how safe this is, or if it's legal there).

Find whichever wheel it goes to and bleed it after the repair. Not sure how/why an ABS-delete would make anything easier at this point, but I'm also not familiar with the 2G's layout. As for the compression fittings, I've used them before with no problems, but I don't race or brake hard either.
