About Van Expertise I can answer most questions concerning 4X4 engine, drive line, suspension, electrical, and fuel, both diesel and gasoline. Ford, GM, and Dodge, old and new.
Experience I have been maintaining a fleet of approximately 55 light, medium and heavy vehicles for over 20 years. Most are 4X4 pickups and off road fire fighting trucks.
Question The hydraulic line for the clutch is leaking along the firewall in the engine compartment. I was wondering how big a deal it is going to be replacing it? Is it one piece from the master cylinder to the slave on the tyranny? Or is it two pieces. I read in one repair manual that it might be easier to cut the end when removing it. Any help is greatly appreciated. It is a 95 extended cab with the 4.3 V6 and 5 speed manual transmission.

Answer Hi Don,
I have never needed to replace one, but if it is so hard to get off without cutting the end off, it's gonna be real hard to stick the replacement one in, with the end on.
I might be tempted to take the line to a place that makes hydraulic hoses, and have a replacement fabricated from hose.
