Angry Slave cylinder hydro line??

I have recently had to replace my slave cylinder because of a stripped bolt. Now I discovered a new problem when my clutch pedal went to the floor with no resistance. The hydrolic line from the slave cylinder to the first bracket with compression fittings broke. I dont know how but my car is sitting in a parking lot 4 minutes from my house.

Here is the question, is this line something I can get and install with no added work? OR, does this need to bent into shape?

Thanks in advance.

you can get either and upper or a lower SS Clutch line or both like I did. The only thing is the location of that hose is behind the drive shock tower so yeah you can do it yourself then you will just need to bleed the system again. Get that battery out of the way and you may be able to get a better view of where you need to get to. Good Luck-JOEYD

Upper SS line shouldn't be hard to replace in a parking lot and you can probably get one pretty quick.

Ok, after doing a little more research I discovered that AMS has a ss line that replaces the lower clutch line. Apparently this is a problem with car that have aftermarket motor mounts and the balancing shaft removed. The braided line is the upper clutch line. For anyone that didn't know lol.

^I just bought the AMS lower SS clutch line and its made by Goodridge? I wasnt expecting this but since all my brake lines are Goodridge SS lines I feel ok puting it on my car.

If anyone has done a How-To on this lower clutch line install, could you post a link?
