Default CLutch line install need help ASAP!!!!

Hey Guys,

I am installing an s.s. clutch line and I am having problems removing the oem line. How do I remove the section of the line that is opposite of the slave cylinder. If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,

David

The part of line that connects to the hard line section. I had no issues removing the side that connects to the slave cylinder.

What difficulties are you having with the hard line section? You have to back out the brass colored nut that sandwhichs the two lines together then unclip the U clip holding the soft line to the bracket that holds the hard line in place..

There's two ways I found to easily remove it. (1) Vise Grip and yank really really hard. (2) Flat head and hammer. I'll see if I have a picture somewhere of what the clip looks like.. Got one... see the clip... This is on a set of brake lines but the clutch line is exactly the same..

I got it off, it was not too bad once I knew how the clip is supposed to come out.
