Does anyone know of an easy way to undo the clutch hardlines. Im replacing my slave and master cylinders and have both basically removed ready for the new ones but can not get the hardlines off either of them. Ive been at it for hours, its like they are cemented on. I hosed the bolts down with wd-40 and still no luck. I gave up for today but need to get it done in the am.
Please give me something! hah

You need to use the right tool for the job.
A flare nut wrench AKA 'line wrench' here is a pic they are used for fuel, hydro clutch, and brake lines/fittings

cool thank you so much...yeh i guess it helps if id have the right type of wrench and not just a regular kind. do you know of the top of your head what size the nut is for the clutch line

Probably a 10MM or 12MM. You can get at Sears. The slave cylinder bleeder nipple is 8MM, but you don't need a line wrench for it.

I will check on my car when i get home from work to let you know exactly what the size is.

GOT IT! thanks for all the help. I got a line wrench this morning and the nuts were loosened in 2 min hah. after i bleed the clutch it was wierd. I turned my car on and put it in gear and it started creeping/jerking forward even when i had the clutch all the way down but then i rebleed it and it was ok them. its also really touchy now (engages when i slightly let off the clutch), I maay need to adjust it?
