clutch hydraulic line replace ouch
OK so it looks like the clutch hydro line is a joke.. to replace. any ideas on total replacement of the system incl master and slave along w/ the offending pipe...? this is what I call sonofabitch engineering... designed to make you say "sonof a" and take your car to the dealer for service... bad GM bad boys.... how about removing the brake master ???? anythings got to be better than what I've read about this line... thanks Doug

Everything unbolts as an assembly, 2 nuts by the pedals to remove the u bolt.that holds the master to the firewall, and two bolts on the slave on the side of the bellhousing. A couple screws fir the reservoir and the entire assembly comes out. No real need to remove the brake booster unless you feel the need.

Right, takes about a half-hour to replace the whole shebang, if you're slow like me. You're probably faster though, you can probably have it done in half the time. Looks scary but is really a piece o cake.

AFAIK all years fit all cars.
I had a 91 (I think...) assy on the 84 stuff that was in my 83 car, after the 84 parts gave up the ghost. Seems like I went to the stealership and they showed different part #s for just about every year, but they only had the one year in stock, so I bought it, and it was perfect.
