man, i did the same f#$@*^%	thing to my 55 gl5 4 years ago, only it was
for the line leading from the tank to the filter.  i ended up havint it
towed to my mechanic to have a new fuel line in.  that involved removing
the tank and all.  they make those freakin nuts out of aluminum or
something.  from what i remember about the car(i sold it 2 years ago)  you
will definately have to put a new line in.  good luck finding an
alternative.
