nbesheer Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Okay I can get the hose off at the slave but I can't figure out how to get the other end off. Theres the metal line from the master, then a braket, then the hose. The hose end looks like it's mounted into the bracket and looks like it has to be removed from the metal line side but I can't get the nut thing to move and I'm afraid I'm doing it wrong, and my haynes doesn't help at all.

nbesheer Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 Wait I think I got it, theres a clip thing that I have to remove lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbesheer Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 auctually I still don't know what to do, do I turn the part on the metal line or the rubber one ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughdogz Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 You should be able to turn the flare nut (compression fitting whatever the proper name is) on the tube. Actually, it is easy to do before you take out the clip. Make sure you're using a 10mm flare nut wrench or else you'll risk stripping the flare nut. If that happens, then you'll need to replace the hard line. Good luck!! I'm planning on doing this myself this weekend. mmmm...braided brake and clutch lines...

nbesheer Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 And by flare nut wrench you don't mean 10mm open end wrench ? lol I kinda accedently twisted the metal line a bit, it's still intact just kinda twisted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbesheer Posted March 3, 2007 Author Share Posted March 3, 2007 Okay, i got the right wrench and it doesn't fit on the nut, it fits on the one for the brake though so I don't know what's up. Anyways it's a good thing I lost my job becuase I won't be going anywhere anytime soon lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughdogz Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Flare nut wrench is like an open end wrench except instead of the box end open at 180 degrees, it is more like (360-360/6) = 300 degrees. Just so you can slip the opening over the 3/16" hard line. It will wrap around five sides of the nut instead of just two...waaaayy better!! Twisted lines aren't good. The ductile material is now "work hardened" and now is more brittle. I'd suggest getting new ones, but that costs a little bit of $$ (of course). Hope you can get it done soon. Later, -Hugh {Edit} WTF was I thinking? open at 60 degrees (not 300) so you can just slip the opening over the hard line. Use a cresent wrench to hold the hose end fitting...

nbesheer Posted March 5, 2007 Author Share Posted March 5, 2007 Sweet I got it working, and I can really feel the difference with the new line. But it might also be because the fluid is clear rather then black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
