Hell there I own a 98 Ford Taurus and one of the brake lines rusted out. so I cut out about a two foot section out. when I went to use the flare tool from auto zone it didnt work. Is there another way to tie into the old line without replacing the hole line. I am planning on selling it because I just bought a 2007 Ford Explorer. Thanks you the advice.

The only way is to use a tool to do a double flare or replace the line. That's a safety issue and would be pretty bad for the brakes to fail on the next owner.

If you have the right pipe / flare kit and ends you should be able to fit a junction piece and replace pipe as needed . Thats provided the pipe is fit for working on .Seem to remember years back there was a legal limit to how many joints over a certain distance of pipe you could have .But it never affected us as if any doubt we replaced complete pipe and refused to fit any joint pipe .

P.s Seem to remember you were only allowed one joint piece on any brake line , but could be wrong .
