question on quick disconnect (getting frustrated) For some reason I can not get the quick disconnect to stay in the slave cylinder. every time I press the clutch in it pops out just enough to disconnect.
I undid the bleeder valve to let out pressure and then connected it. Still did not work. It will bleed when the bleeder is open, but when
I tighten it up. POP goes the braided line right out of the slave.
can some one on here please help me.

I had a problem getting mine to snap on and connect for a while, I ended up lubing everything up with brake fluid, completely securing the plastic ring back as far as it would go and with patience I wrestled it in there.
Be sure to lube your O ring well when it goes in. I had this problem before. More than likely it is lubed from all the poping out.LOL It will feel as though you have it in, when in actuality it is not. I removed the plastic piece that allows for the quick disconect and just keep it where I can find it. (If lost, you can buy others at walmart) I find removing it helps get the damn thing in there right.
Sorry to hijack the thread, but this leads me to a question... How are you guys disconnecting the braided line? Everytime I have to do it I use a flat screwdriver to push in the plastic piece but it takes forever and I just can't help but think there is a better way.
BTW, I had to wrestle like hell to get the line back in last time I messed with it. Are you hearing/feeling it 'pop' in?

wow it goes in that far I guess I dont have it in all the way. So what about the whit plastic ring what happens to that. and how the hell do you get any leverge with the screwdrivers to push it that hard? I will try thanks for your help. i hope it works.
When you get it pushed in get a small screwdriver and pry out a little on the retainer while pushing in. As far as disconnecting i use a small set of pliers so i can press both sides at the same time evenly and out it comes.
my brother still can't get ours in either. it's been 2 and 1/2 weeks now. he's tried everything I've read of these similar posts and still...
how can you tell if the slave end is possibly worn out? I mean, you can't really "see" down in there.
