what are we workin on. rangers are best disconnected at the slave.
 
Under the truck, looking up at it, on the lefthand side of the bellhousing you'll find the hydraulic line. There is a sort of plug that you undo by pressing the white collar into it all the way, and pop the line out. I use a flat screwdriver, but there is an actual tool. Think kind of along the lines of a sharkbite connector in plumbing.
 
its the truck under my name and address. A 94 Ranger . Also how many bell housing bolts are there? Please tell me there isnt a bolt at 12 o'clock
 
There's two up high, the lefthand side one I use extensions and joints, the right one I use a wrench from the top. They're not bad except for that stupid seam in the way.
 
I have the special quick connect tool for the Slave Cylinder side... and it rarely works. I generally end up cutting the line, and using a compression union when I put it back together. My ranger has been this way for almost 100k miles with no problems, and I've done it on several other trucks.

If you decide to cut it make sure to use a pipe cutter (even on a plastic line) to ensure good union bite during reassembly.

A compression fitting will work on the plastic line ? Kewel
 
Every time I do a clutch and slave in a Ranger, I can never get the line to release from the slave due to corrosion. I just take a hammer and chisel (or flat screw driver) and just break away the nipple on the slave cylinder until it allows the hose to come out. Has worked for me without damaging the line every time.

When you do this do you use stiffeners?
