easy job, brake line fittings rounding off or the line being too rusted and snapping in the fittingi f you do turn it are very common issues. any new line would come straight and be bent to fit, you might as well do it yourself as random auto shop guy might skimp on bends

other option if there is room to use the same line is cut it off after the fitting ,buy a new fitting ,re flare and screw back in
Vise grips -- beat me to it. Get big ones so that you get a better bite. My tiny ones aren't the most useful vise-grips in the world .
