Hey all...I'm at my wits' end here. Job was to change out the clutch because of chatter.
Everything went fine, for both disassembly and install, save for the last actual connection -- the clutch hydro line into the slave.
For whatever reason, the damn thing won't go in! I've tried and done everything, from relieving the pressure at the reservoir and the slave cylinder, to checking the fittings for both the line and slave cylinder. Everything checks out: the spring fittings on both the slave and the line press in and release as they should.
Like I've said, I'm at my wits' end here -- and the friend whose garage I'm borrowing wants this done ASAP.
EVERY VIDEO I HAVE SEEN, EVERY POST AND ARTICLE I HAVE READ, ALL SAY TO "PUSH IN UNTIL YOU HEAR A CLICK" OR "ONCE IT GOES IN, YOU'LL HEAR A 'SNAP' AS IT LOCKS INTO PLACE.
What trick am I missing here? I've never had this much difficulty in installing this line before. And this is the first time this system has been apart in five years. Can someone give me something so that I can get this done??? I'm desperate here!
