[DML] Re: Clutch Line Replacement

["ryanpwright" <yahoo1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When I replaced mine a couple of months ago it just slipped right out,
and the new one slipped right in. You can't pull it through because of
the metal ends, but the hose itself should slip right out the side of
the channel it's run in. 

Trying to explain better: The hose isn't run in a "sealed" channel,
the edge is open (think "U" shaped) and the hose itself will fit
through the open part of the U. You just pull it out, and push the new
one back in (kind of like tucking lamp cords under the baseboard to
hide them).

At least, that's how mine was...
