Clutch Slave Hose Removal

[JJBravo]

Changing over to the EVOMS accumulator delete, and I need to change the clutch slave hose. It disconnects here...

Does it just pull out? By the looks of the replacement, you just give it a tug. Correct?

[RFM]

No, you need to run the connector open with two open key's.

Unlike fuel, oil return, and a/c connections, there is no spot whatsoever for tool or key insertions in this fitting.

Where do you install a separation tool?

[RFM]

Porsche use a special tool to work on it, do you need the connector to reuse?

Yes. The new hydro fllex hose is longer. I'd like to see the special tool or procedure as it is a barb/circlip attachement and the fit is very tight, so I can't see any type of shim separation device installed. What I think the special tool is a wedge separator and you replace the internal circlip?

[RFM]

The problem is the very fragile plastic, inside kind of clip, which is not available separately. It's not a difficult job but you have to see it done, or pics could help you out, explanation via internet without examples is difficult, sorry for that.

Airco connectors are the same, perhaps Loren can help you out with some pics or exploded views.

Sorry, i meant the servo pump instead of airco.

Actually for the clutch slave, it is a steel circlip that holds the brass male barb with a concave groove. The servo has a convex bulge and the plastic release collars for the return lines.

The slave hose is different for sure, and it looks like you just pull it hard apart and replace the circlip if needed. Just don't want to go medieval on it until I know the facts for sure.

new hose....

Loren... is it just a pull to overcome the circlip?

Can't believe I'm the first...

Thanks much but we're missing something.... step 8 is talking about the accumulator and using the strap wrench on that. What does #9 and 10 say?

Thanks again.

I thought you just wanted the connection (though I couldn't tell which one from your pic). I redid them for you....^^

Sorry but I never saw anything like this fitting when I replaced the slave..

And this fitting it exactly were you disconnect the hose that goes to the slave and you have to used two open end wrench 15 mm.

I am trying to understand where this hose goes to. One end seems to be good for the fitting onto the green line but the other end ??? It doesn't fit into the new unit that replaced the slave ?

[jpflip]

Looking at the picture of the new unit...Looks like a theaded portion is going into the assy....

[jpflip]

There has to be a way to disconnect the fitting from the hose (stupid to say from me). Circlip of some kind because the base of the new fitting looks exactly like the base of the old one. Keeps us inform of your findings. That is not something we have to dismantle when we replaced the slave....

Love to have a pic looking into this coupler to see if the circllip is accesable.

I don't understand... You don't have the hose already out of the car on your workbench?

No, waiting for a replacement fitting for my Motive Bleeder before I shred it. Just doing my homework...

Car is just on my lift waiting....
