Flexible Clutch Hose Replacement Guide

Safety First:Always ensure the vehicle is safely supported on jack stands and the parking brake is engaged before beginning work.

Basic Replacement Steps:

1. Locate the Clutch Hose

• The flexible clutch hose typically runs from the clutch master cylinder to the slave cylinder
• It's usually visible near the transmission bell housing

2. Fluid Management

• Place a drain pan under the work area
• Have fresh clutch fluid ready for refilling
• Keep rags handy for spills

3. Remove Old Hose

• Loosen the banjo bolts or line fittings at both ends
• Remove any securing clips or brackets
• Carefully remove the old hose

4. Install New Hose

• Compare new hose to old one to ensure correct fitment
• Install new copper washers if using banjo fittings
• Attach hose at both ends, ensuring proper alignment
• Torque fittings to manufacturer specifications

5. Bleeding Process

• Fill master cylinder with fresh fluid
• Bleed the clutch system to remove air
• This usually requires a helper to pump the clutch pedal
• Continue until fluid runs clear with no bubbles

6. Final Checks

• Check for leaks at all connection points
• Verify proper clutch pedal feel
• Test clutch engagement and operation
• Top up fluid if necessary
