Subject:2 Piece Clutch Hose: Replace with 1 Piece?
From:Neil N
Date:Wed, 2 Jul 2014 14:55:02 -0700

Hi all.

This is for a WBX (1985) transaxle in a 1981 Vanagon. The long steel
hydraulic line from clutch master cylinder to flex hose at transaxle,
is 1981 OEM.

Does anyone know if this hose:
http://www.van-cafe.com/home/van/page_1937_218/metal-clutch-slave-cylinder-hose.html

can be used (is long enough) in place of the existing rubber hose and
metal pipe to clutch slave cylinder?

Why: I want to replace the slave cylinder (it mostly works but I think
it's failing), but the steel hydraulic line is frozen to it and it
likely won't come out w/o damaging (twisting) the steel pipe. My spare
parts line is toast. I'd get a shop to use it as a template but the
rubber flex hose looks old.

Thanks,

Neil.
