If I'm not mistaken, there should be a roll pin that needs to be driven out with a drift, and then the line will pull free.

I wasn't sure if he was talking about the resevoir line ? as he showed a picture of the stock and TIK master units. Ithought he was doing a swap ?

Why would you want to pull it apart ?

You need to explain what you're trying to do ? I thought you were doing a master upgrade to the TIK unit.

ya, if your installing a tick master u don't need the master line, if you are doing a slave swap from monster there is a split pin you need to bang out of the slave and xfer line to new slave

if your trying to disconnect the master follow the line and you will see a quick disconnect - use a line disconnect tool to pull it apart.

Where did you get the master cylinder from? If a GM part it should have came with the hose.

Maybe I'm losing my marbles here, but I could not be more confused on what you are trying to accomplish. Based on your pic, you have the old stock master with the hard line still attached, and a tick adjustable master cylinder, that has an AN fitting, and the line that connects to it and the quick disconnect.

So what is the problem?
