Default Replace rear brake line (from cylinder)

Hey,

I broke of a piece of my brake line when just checking the condition....I can't seem to locate where it connects with the cylinder...

Is there a guide on how to replace it? just where the connections are ...and is it a PITA? Seems like it gets quite cramped by the cylinder..

The lines broke on the axle and I've the placed the brake hub as well and that's when the line > hub broke.

But still, replacing "everything" is for me the entire system, lines, cylinder etc which in my mind is not needed, i might replace the front as well but now i'm tackling the rear first.

Bump - I've come to realize a scary truth....does the rear brakelines connect to the proportioning valve?? If so, how the hell do you access the nipple that sits below? And accessing it from below doesn't seem that successful either.
