I am trying to replace the clutch in a 1992 Ford Ranger 3.0 V6. The quick disconnect on the hydraulic clutch line from the clutch master cylinder to the slave cylinder is seized and wont come apart. I think I will need to cut the line because it won’t disconnect even with the special tool. The hydraulic clutch line from the clutch master cylinder to the slave cylinder is $85.00 and the slave cylinder is at least another $85.00. Would I have to replace both the hydraulic line from the clutch master cylinder to the slave cylinder and the slave cylinder it self? Or would I be able to replace just the quick disconnect fitting? I just need to know the cheapest way to fix it when I’m putting it back together. It is a hydraulic system so hose clamps and a rubber line won’t work I don’t think. Thank you.
No the slave cylinder is internal and the hydrulic line needs to be removed to remove the transmission. the quick disconnect is plastic as is the line so a tourch wont work. So I should replace the slave cylinder as well as the hydrulic line then? or is there a way to replace only the connector ?
