ss clutch line
#3
Its extremely easy. I dont have pictures to share with you, but I can give you a narrative...
-Lift car on jackstand/lift
-Get under car and locate clutch slave cylinder, it will be on the lower driver's side of the transmission
-Follow clutch line up to where it meets with clutch hardline
-Using an 8mm open end wrench, detatch clutch line from clutch hardline at top side of the mounting tab
-Using a 10mm (I think, might be 12mm) socket, remove clutch line banjo bolt from clutch slave cylinder
-Reverse procedure with new SS clutch line
-Bleed clutch at clutch slave cylinder, the bleeder screw is also 8mm

this is job is becoming my achilles heel.
i cannot get the piping disconnected from the old rubber clutch line. it will not come off. i have even tried using vice grips to turn it and it saint happening. my nut on the line is pretty worn and stripped now after using the clutch line wrench first then the vice. i am at my wit's end trying to take this crap off as it is the last thing i need to do for my JWT install and i can't get it done. any suggestions would be helpful
thanks

well the funny thing with that is when i tried to that because i dropped it out of the lock that the nut to the old line is in by taking the clip out it still wouldn't move. man it sucks as this is the only thing holding me back. i think a day or two of letting it sit and me sit not getting mad about it will help though as i will try to fix it this weekend. thanks for the advice though

thanks for the suggestions guys as i am going to try them today. i do have another two questions though.........will putting this line on help with the amount of pressure my piston gives my throw arm on the clutch?
i need about another 1/2 inch of throw because it is hard to get things in gear when my engine is on and i have already adjusted my clutch pedal height out as far as it can go.
also for some reason the engagement is very low to the floor of my Z, i know that since it is a new clutch the engagement point might be different but that is really low.......any thoughts there?
i think it is just when i bled the original clutch the first time some air was still trapped inside the line. but i am not sure. we will see

Replacing this rubber hose with a stainless steel hose and flushing out the bobo fluid for something better fixes this issue.
It looks like now that it's summer, this issue is more prevalent. It will die down as temperatures start to drop due to seasonal weather changes.
