Neil, That line will replace everything from the slave cylinder to the junction of the long metal tube coming all the way from the clutch master. If you can't break the current line at the long metal line, you'll have issues, but otherwise this is a nice replacement. I put one in last year, with a whole set of s/s lines from them.

The long steel hydraulic line from clutch master cylinder to flex hose at transaxle, is 1981 OEM. Does anyone know if this hose: http://www.van-cafe.com/home/van/page_1937_218/metal-clutch-slave-cylinder-hose.html can be used (is long enough) in place of the existing rubber hose and metal pipe to clutch slave cylinder? Why: I want to replace the slave cylinder (it mostly works but I think it's failing), but the steel hydraulic line is frozen to it and it likely won't come out w/o damaging (twisting) the steel pipe. My spare parts line is toast. I'd get a shop to use it as a template but the rubber flex hose looks old. Thanks, Neil. - |
