Routing Clutch Line On '96 Ranger?

[The Sheepish Lion]

hello

im in the process of installing a new master cylinder and hydro lines into my '96 2.3, and im having trouble figuring out how to reinstall the new lines. i dont want to damage the new ones, so im having issues getting it all to slip into place. the old system came out easily but im stumped on how to get the new ones into position. is there any tricks or methods that might help me do this properly? thanks guys, i appreciate any help you can give me

When I took my old MC line out I was never able to get it back in where the factory routed it. I tried forever and never got it. Ended up routing it somewhere that was a little too close to the exhaust for my comfort but it never hurt it for the year I drove it like that.

i finally got it installed after an hour of staring at the setup and doing a few dry runs with the old line. the downward bending part ended up going down into the recess on the outside of the frame rail right before where the cab meets the frame. hopefully its ok in that spot and wont interfere with anything else on the truck. just need to ziptie it in place so it doesnt move and i should be set. hopefully i never have to do this again haha
