clutch hydrolic line question/problem
I have a 1993 ford ranger and I am trying to reconnect the hydraulic line to the internal clutch slave cylinder. I purchased a new slave cylinder but I cant seem to get that quick connect coupler back in. It goes in but not deep enough to snap in. Is there any tips or tricks to putting it back in. I dont think i need the quick connect tool that I took it off with, but maybe I do. does anyone know or can anyone help. Thanks, Jim

Hi jimmmmie
Welcome to the FTE Family! I had the same trouble w/ replacing my fuel filter cause i'm used to using a regular see-through, in-the-line filter! I now have a filter for high pressure fuel system, cause i have EFI! My point being, is when i replaced it, it would not go into the hole all the way so i took it back out (the filter) + examined the ends of it again! I went back under the truck w/ a flashlight (working w/ gas here; 1 spark + KA BOOM!!) to familarize myself with this type of system by examining the fuel lines. I then noticed that it had spacers + "O" rings inside that were cocked slightly stopping the line from reentering the recepticle. Make sure that the line is clean of contaminents + goes in totally strait, not cocked on an angle, this won't work! The 2 systems i see utalize a strait "Hairpin"clip or a round "Duck-bill"clip. I would think the "Duck-bill"clip would be used here cause it's a "push -in+ snap" type system! Give it a bit of a twist while pushing the line into the recepticle.
Hope this helps!
