clutch fluid line cut in half .. need help

I started noticing some weird pressure problems with my clutch, and one day clutch failed and stuck on the ground while I was driving to work. I found out that there was a huge leak with a flexible(rubber) clutch line on the firewall near the tranny tunnel, and it was a common problem after search.
I kinda fixed it wrapped around with high pressure hose with clamps had no problem, and recently clutch failed again and i noticed that rubber line was broke it half. There was no way to fix that line anymore, so I tried to look for this part(rubber flexible clutch line) online. No luck yet. Please tell me where I can buy this part? **picture would be appreciated since I wanna double check before I make a purchase.

Thank you

Yes, this is a direct replacement for the stock rubber line.

You can get that hose from Malloy Mazda if you want the stock part. The above part is a braided stainless hose - works great and is more durable.

Is is hard to install myself?
I tried to twist the rubber line to take it off, but it feels like it's really stuck in there since it's been there for more than 10 years i guess...

It's not hard per-say depending on how much work you've done on cars before. You will have to jack up the car to get to the other side. It's been a LONG time since I've seen a stock clutch line, but you'll need either a wrench (or pliers if it's not a nut) to break it loose. You'll see a bracket on the firewall where it runs down to the tranny; remove the clip holding it in the bracket, then you can use a wrench or pliers to undo it.

Once you install the SS line, you'll need to bleed the clutch.
