Help with damaged left rear caliper brake line while mounting lowering spring

While mounting the Eibach lowering springs I ''of course'' stupidly damaged the hard brake line of the rear left caliper. And yes the line is pinched and definitely have to be replaced.

I checked the online GM parts store and this specific line in not listed, only the entire caliper.

I've heard places selling rebuild kit for most calipers and I was wondering if anyone knows any places that would sell this line and avoiding buying the entire caliper.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated..

On a side note for the one thinking mounting lowering springs, my advise is not trusting too much the Youtube videos. The front was fairly easy but the back is a PITA and none of the videos address the re-alignment necessary including camber re-adjustment, re-clocking the rubber bushings, torque specifications and rear camber adjustment bolts requiring replacement each time.
Just be aware that it is a lot more involved than the videos make it look.
