Some times with the soft nuts on those lines you have to do the
unthinkable.
GENTLY use a set of ViseGrips. If you are careful not to crush it you
will be able to
reuse the nut. Good luck.

Subject: Clutch Fluid Line & Replacement (No M content)
Listers,
Managed to get my oil pan/sump bolted back on this weekend, and
continuted to part 2 -- rebuild of the slave and mc for the clutch. I
can't seem to get the "middle" bolt on the line to do anything, except
crimp the metal part of the line.
The point that connects to the slave is an odd size, which of course,
I
don't own yet -- will stop by Sears this evening or next, I think
it's
a 15/32 size, different than the bleed screw size (which is puzzling,
to
say the least !).
Also, the nut where the line attaches to the clutch M/C is most
interesting. Does anyone have any pointers on how to get to this one
?
I decided to go ahead and replace the line since the middle bolts are
so
rusty and do not want to move at all.
Any votes on changing over the braided steel lines offered by Moss ?
The price is about $10 more, so it's affordable.
Thanks again for all input & suggestions !
