I am doing a clutch replacement job on my !988 F-150 4X4. The hydraulic throwout bearing blew out. I've got everything else disassembled. I can't figure out how to disconnect the plastic hydraulic line from the clutch master cylinder. I did this job about ten years ago, and replaced that line then also, but I can't remember how to disconnect it from the master cylinder.

 

Get the tool or use 2 screwdrivers and push the release ring on the fitting towards the tranny. While both your hands are holding the screw drivers pull out the fitting. It is the white collar on the fitting in the picture.

Thanks for the reply JMC. I got the line disconnected by the transmission, at the slave cylinder end. I should have made myself more clear. I need to get the other end of that line disconnected from the clutch master cylinder, so I can replace that plastic hydraulic line before it breaks at a bad time.

 

Ok, no biggie. The other end has a spring pin. Push out the pin and pull out the line. I just snapped a pic of one I had lying around. At the end of the pen is the spring pin that has to be pushed out to release the swivel fitting at the master. Once it is pushed out you just pull out the fitting.
