No, you don't need to separate the frame from the body to replace the
clutch line, even though the manual says that you do. When I read
that in the book, I thought "You've got to be kidding!", but after
reading other posts on this list, I was relieved to find that you
could just run the new S.S line along the LH side of the frame without
having to separate the frame from the body. I secured the line in
place by tucking in between the frame rail and the body and used nylon
tie-wraps every 12 inches or so. Don't know if that's the best way to
do it, but it worked fine for me. It took me a whole 15 minutes and I
didn't have to utter a single swear-word.
