Default Worth replacing the tranny line?

I went to replace the radiator this past weekend but couldnt get the lower tranny cooler line off! I thought bout just buying a new on and replacing it but its $50 and Id rather not spend the money if I dont have to. How do the tranny lines hold up? Other than some rust on the end by the rad the line looks great. Im tempted to cut the fitting off the rad and get it outa the line anyway possible and connect it to the new rad and call it a day. What do you guys think?

I broke the fitting off the rad so i was able to pull it up to where i could see it better, its just brass so its pretty soft. Destroyed the plastic clip to get it out of the line and bought new clips from the parts store.

6 or 12 pack of clips where like $5

Mines newer with out the plastic clips, just the standard fuel line connection. Just wondering if the tranny line is worth replacing or if it'll hold up for a while.

I might have been better off if they didnt.

Anyone have any input on the life of the lines?
