@leslieblue those lines are under a plastic shield. Check this video for [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9nCkWg88DI|a guide] It's a PITA to splice lines unless you do have the right flaring tool etc. I'd get the complete replacement set of lines from your automotive parts dealer. That way they are pre-bend and do not require any flaring etc. This is not something you want to attempt on the driveway. Either a hoist or a pit will be best.

As for teh tools, I prefer a flare-nut wrench compared to a box end wrench. Most of these lines may also be corroded on the connectors. Vise grips may be on order
