Default Clutch line reinstall

The clutch line should just push into the slave cylinder, right? Mine doesn't seem to want to go in. I was using an '02 slave before and now it has an 01 slave in it, is it possible that the connections are different? Or am I overlooking something stupid?

For anyone else that feels like they're overlooking something stupid, the bleeder valve must be open for the hose to pop in. lol

Ive heard others say that too... It shouldnt need to be open. You arent pushing any fluid into the slave. Mine popped right on without the bleeder being open. Fully bench bled master and non-leaking slave...

I think it just has to be just right in order to pop in.

I agree. I didn't have my remote bleeder open when I connected the line. I did use a pair of Channel Locks to help get them together. Not alot of pressure, just a gentle push.

Well, when I opened the bleeder, it dumped a bunch of fluid. I am pretty sure that it was dry when I put it in, so the only thing that I can think of is that it filled up very quick when attempting to put the fitting in and that fluid would, obviously, make it difficult to put the line. With the bleeder open, it popped right on without any trouble and works fine.

Ed Zachary, my friend!!!! Pops right in after you relieve the pressure in the slave by loosening the bleeder valve nut.
