Slave Cyl "Quick Disconnect" ?

Ok, so i feel like i just cannot catch a break with my clutch job.

So i have the driveline bolted up and wanted to bleed the slave before putting the cradle back on, etc.

How does one re-connect the master to the slave? i read someone using vise grips to connect them, but wanted some other input before i wreck it.

Thanks,

John

Just push it straight in till it clicks.

There is NO slack in the lines,so if they're not straight,they won't reach-and it's hard to keep them straight,hang on to them,and push against the spring tension at the same time.

Just keep trying,they'll go

it just pushes back in. Loosen the bleeder screw on the slave to relieve some pressure. the lines must be straight.

Exactly. Once you get it popped together you will say "That was Easy".

It just works like that sometimes. I cant count how many times I've tried to do something for an hour, get pissed, shut the light in the garage, come out the next morning and in 5 minutes it worked out.
