What’s needed for front brake lines
So my front brake locked up so I got the stuff to replace the calipers and the rubber brake hose but when trying to disconnect the soft line from the hard line it stripped so now I need to get new hard lines but not sure what tools I would need to make the lines and what lines and connectors I would need to get

If you can,,,, ordering brake lines on line can become problematic to say the least.
Remove the old line and take it to an auto supply store , they will match the type fittings with the size line and you go from there.
Not knowing the year of your vehicle, the fittings could be METRIC.
They have new various lengths with the correct fittings and flares already available. The tubing is easily formed and is easy to work with.
Just make sure to cover the ends so no foreign junk can get into the tubing as you route it thru the various places as where the old tubing was routed.
Make sure you have a good supply of (Usually DOT 3) brake fluid.. (one quart) If possible don't allow the master cyl to empty out because it can be quite a hassle to get all the air out.
