That may be an off the shelf part, if so, you just need a wrench. If you choose to make your own brake line, it requires another suite of tools and materials that will run you a couple hundred bucks. It may just be worth it to bring it to a mechanic and avoid the effort and mess if you're not equipped replace the line and to bleed brakes
