Re: Braided cluth lines... and their loving replacement

["tmpintnl" <tobyp@xxxx>]

Travis - It is relatively easy to replace the clutch line without 
removing the body. I routed my stainless steel braided line alongside 
the coolant pipe on the driver's side of the frame center rail. A few 
nylon ties here and there to secure it, and you're good to go. The 
original plastic line can be left in place (don't know why you would 
do that) or pulled out from the front end. It is easier to cut the 
end off that connects to the joint at the transmission to allow it to 
be pulled through smoothly. My line goes from the clutch master 
cylinder to the maintenance junction bracket located on the top of the 
transmission, and the original hard steel line goes from there to the 
slave cylinder. I looked in the Tech section for an article on this 
procedure, and was surprised to find nothing. Go figure!
