How to Disconnect a 1993 Ford Ranger Clutch Line

The clutch line, which carries hydraulic fluid to the clutch, may seems difficult to remove because of its special fitting. In fact, though, the hydraulic line is equipped with a quick disconnect line. This line requires a special quick-disconnect tool, available to rent at most auto part stores, but it can be removed with standard tools if done correctly. Almost all mechanics can have the line disconnected in just a few seconds.

Things You'll Need

• Line quck-disconnect tool
• Standard head screwdriver

Instructions

1. Depress the white retainer on the clutch line fitting with the quick-disconnect tool.

2. Pull on the line away from the clutch.

3. Turn the line slightly to disengage the male end of the fitting from the female fitting on the clutch. While turning, pull the line until it disconnects.
