Default Master Cylinder install question (in the process)

Can some one please tell me how you disconnect the braided hose from the tranny?

Thanks Gilbert

that U clamp was harder to put in than the tranny if you ask me, are you putting in a new clutch or just the master?

Are you talkin about the ubolt that goes over the top of the master cylinder? Cuz i removed that when i put my Mcleod in, because you dont need it. The Mcleod has threaded holes in it, and you bolt it up from the inside.

The new Mcleod m/c come with bolts that thread into the m/c. The older version reused the factory u-bolt.

Glad I got the new one, that ubolt would have been terrible to try to put back in by myself.

I thought about throwing away the U-bolt and just using two bolts but a friend and I managed to get it back on. Mike I installed just the MC that I bought from you . ( Thanks for the fast shipping) it also worked out pretty good. I ran the car 4 times at the track tonight. My stock clutch is holding up pretty good so far.

Thanks for all the repies.
