    Clutch line removal.

    I am at the point where I wan't to have my g stolen out of frustration.
    Can anyone please tell me how do you get the clutch line out. I already loosened it at the clutch slave cylinder but the other connection is so hard to reach, is there an easier way to do this?

    No - if you are talking about the flex-to-steel joint under the wiper motor

    But do not be afraid to remove a fender. It will take you half an hour when you are used to it. If you do, ask here and we'll advise how-to.

    I removed it and replaced it, but I have to add: I did all my crying for 2012 in only 2 days of struggling. So bring on the bad news, I have no tears left!

    You need to remove the top two bell housing bolts and to set the injector pump timing.

    Oh yes and replace your interior fan motor and the wiper bushes.

    When you are finished with that, the bottom two radiator cowl screws need to be replaced.

    Ja but that pipe is one of the good ones.
