I REALLY need your guys lightning fast help.

I got my clutchline from mazdatrix today, like 3 hours ago, I been outside for 3HOURS trying to get the old one off, can't get it off from both sides, the part thats connected to the hardline that goes to the mastercylinder is messed up to the point where I can't get anything to go around it. The part of the rubber line that goes to the slave cylinder won't even come off, I can't get any leverage to take it off. I need help TODAY. There aren't any how to's on this, or any info worth reading. I mentioned this clutchline in a post way back with the title "Having a hard time buying a rx7".

I NEED HELP TODAY!

Any and all posts are really appreciated.

Unbolt your slave cylinder and you'll be able to get it up to where you can get some leverage.
If the fittings are rounded off, just use vise grips.

I'm sick of an evening project turning into an all nighter

line wrenches does wonders....

I probably don't have line wrenches. is the hardline and clutchline reverse thread, because which ever way I turn, it doesn't do anything. Also, is it just really hard to get to the slave cylinder bolts, because I can't get a wrench down there.

You need a 3/8 ratchet, a 3/8" universal, a short extension and a long extension. Oh, yes and a 12mm socket.


Good Luck.

Edit: Oh, wait. I already taught you how to do this!

Just follow the directions. Ask questions if something doesn't make sense.

I got it off, and replaced, I used a 10mm wrench open ended, and (all I had)11/16 wrench. I stripped the 10mm hardline(both of them). I used visegrips mostly through this. The hardest one to take off was the one connected to the slave cylinder, I rested the wrench around the nut, and used a rubbber hammer to knock it ajar. Then wrestled to screw it off, and wrestled to screw the ss one on. A problem occured when I couldn't get the hardline back in when I screwed the ss line to the hardline. But with brute force, it went in snug, next I will bleed my clutchline.

The magic tool, better than vise grips, is a really small pipe wrench and a pipe to go over the end of the pipe wrench to extra leverage. The harder you push on the pipe wrench, the tighter it grips. WAY better than vise grips in situations like this.
