Re: [DML] Replacing rigid clutch line with flexible

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

That's a big IF. If the car is weathered (rusty) enough that the 
clutch slave line is rusty and stuck, chances are that the crossover 
nuts will be in a very permanent state too. That will lead to 
breaking studs off the manifolds, and now you've created yourself Yet 
Another DeLorean Project. Fixing this will probably require you to 
remove the manifold(s) from the engine as drilling out the studs is 
very difficult in-place. 

Not everyone is ready to replace the exhaust system with flex tubing, 
especially if you live in an area where they do emission 
testing/inspection.

I have removed the slave, with the line still attached, with the 
crossover in place. It's very fiddly working around the heater lines 
up there but it can be done.
