[DML] Re: Clutch Line Replacement

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You do not have to lift the body. You can cut the end off the old one
and yank it right out. The new one might go in and might not. There is
only one spot where it probably won't so if you strap-tie it up nice
and tight it is not an issue. I have seen cars where the old one was
left in. Not a good idea, it keeps dripping brake fluid. You cannot
pull the old one out with the new one attached. The ends have a short
piece of metal pipe and it is bent up so you don't have the room.
Strap-tie it tightly. The outer metal braid is very abrasive so if it
rubs it will wear whatever it is next to like the paint, a rubber
hose, the epoxy, etc. Be sure to thourghly bleed the clutch system so
you get all the air out.
