Hey folks,
In the process of trying to get the transmission fill plug out (see other recent thread) I sprung a leak in the hydraulic fluid line immediately before the clutch slave cylinder, which is located right next to the previously mentioned plug.

The Jeep is dead in the water until I can get the hydraulic line patched/replaced -- can anyone help out with this? All I can find are master/slave cylinder kits with the hydraulic line -- I'd rather just buy the line if possible.

Thanks.

 

So, in all honesty this would be easier over the phone so if you need to PM me and I will give you a call. Anyways, you have a metal line coming off your tranny that the hydro line connects to. It has a black plastic piece that is a key for removing that line. You have to make sure that black plastic key is not pushed into the plastic female end fitting. It slides back away and just sits there. You most likely just pushed the key in on accident. You will need to bleed the clutch afterwards. My brother in law did this on his wrangler two months ago and I had to drive to Battleground WA to fix it for him so he wouldnt take it to a mechanic......
