Default Drill Mod...What size drill bit??

I read on install university that for the drill mod you need to use a 1/8" drill bit but when I put that bit in it goes in just fine. This was in the end that goes into the master.

What part of the hyraulic line am I supposed to be drilling? If it's the part that connects to the master, then what size bit?!

Did you buy the car used?

I could fit just the tip of the bit in on my line, had to drill out the rest.

Ok...I figured it out.

The restriction is about an inch from the end. It's not at the very end like I thought. Reading through the install university write up thew me off because it sounds like it's at the very end of the line. Also the part u have to drill out is the part that connects to the master.

Just dont let it get real hot while you drill it the line can get damaged.
Go slow & feel the area of the restrictor, keep the heat down while doing it. Douse it in brake fluid if you have to.

the restrictor is in the line on the master side, not in the master itself, but it would behoove you to do it while you're changin your clutch
