I would just replace it. JB weld prob wont hold and welding might fatigue it, and thats not good on a press line.

well, I tried taking it to a shock and getting them to tig weld it, but they recommended replacing it and it was only $60 so I went that route. I also am going to JB weld the old line for kicks to see if it can hold.
