replacing full brake line? how bad?

I was trying to get a few more months out of our 2000 MB ML320 with 180k miles before I got a new ride but the drivers side rear hard brake line blew from corrosion on the line. Its leaking right under the drivers side door but I haven't yet been able to get a good look at it.

Question is how hard is it to buy a 25' coil and bend it in and flare the ends to replace? I see guys on Youtube splicing in secions of hard line to get a way with a quick fix but I'm not so sure on that method.

The car is almost junk anyway but I would like to drive it for a few weeks while trying to purchase a new one.

I have rebuilt brakes on my 911 and BMW but never had to run an entire line from front to back.

Any info (MB specific) would be great.
