Remove old brake line, install new line, bleed out air. What else did you think you have to do? It's just a brake line.

Are you talking about the hard line or the rubber line?

The hard line. Right where they connect. I had someone pump the brakes and I can see air bubbles and brake fluid coming out between the line and the nut. I tried to tighten it but that was all it would go without me starting to strip it.

Replace the rubber brake hose. It has a seal in it.
