Subject:      2 Piece Clutch Hose: Replace with 1 Piece?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Hi all.

This is for a WBX (1985) transaxle in a 1981 Vanagon. 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.
