Can anyone give me an idea of how best to seperate the hydraulic line from the clutch master from the slave cylinder?

Replaced the clutch master cylinder a few days ago which didn't solve the "no clutch pedal problem". In the process of bleeding it with a buddy working the clutch pedal it actually blew the line off at the slave cylinder. I reseated it at the time (should have left it off but fluid leaking) and now I'm replacing the clutch (believe the slave cylinder is shot) and need to seperate the line from the slave cylinder to back the bellhousing/transmission away from the block.

I've pulled on it pretty hard. Trying not to tear **** up. Any secret, or just muscle?

Just cut it... Your replacing the line and slave anyways?

Not replacing the line. New master and new slave - should be able to save the old line.

It comes apart just at or inside the bellhousing... Id go ahead and swap lines while your at it... Not like they cost alot and u wont have to worry about leaks at the ends or internal corrosion...

Here's the photo. You can see the bleeder screw. It's the other line running down from the master that's the issue. Any thoughts greatly appreciated. Really don't want to replace that line by cutting it, trying the jeep back in service.

Problem solved! Took just a little twist and pull (Advise from hankthetank - thanks man).
