I am trying to replace the clutch in a 1992 Ford Ranger 3.0 V6. The quick disconnect on the hydraulic clutch line from the clutch master cylinder to the slave cylinder is seized and wont come apart. I think I will need to cut the line because it won’t disconnect even with the special tool. The hydraulic clutch line from the clutch master cylinder to the slave cylinder is $85.00 and the slave cylinder is at least another $85.00. Would I have to replace both the hydraulic line from the clutch master cylinder to the slave cylinder and the slave cylinder it self? Or would I be able to replace just the quick disconnect fitting? I just need to know the cheapest way to fix it when I'm putting it back together. It is a hydraulic system so hose clamps and a rubber line won’t work I don’t think. Thank you.
No the slave cylinder is internal and the hydrulic line needs to be removed to remove the transmission. the quick disconnect is plastic as is the line so a tourch wont work. So I should replace the slave cylinder as well as the hydrulic line then? or is there a way to replace only the connector ?

    Man have I been there before! Living in a climate where road salt is used extensive and lots of customers with the Fords. Here it is. By the time I fiddle trying to get these suckers apart I could buy my customer a new one. Heres the next thing that sometimes happens. The master cylinder will sometimes fail because it may be worn and not stand up to the extra pressure of the new clutch springs. When you go to bleed the system, dont pump the heck out of it. Add your brake fluid and depress slowly a few times. Pumping it fast and furious creates bubbles and makes it hard to bleed out. Have a helper crack the bleed screw on the slave while you slowly depress the pedal, close the screw before you lift off the pedal. You may need to repeat a couple times.Then just tap the pedal to shake any possible bubbles in the line from the master, they will slowly rise back up to the top and out.

    Gotta add this edit. Didnt read you careful enough first time…..REPLACE the slave!! Otherwise its tear it apart again.

    Can you remove the slave cylinder,with the line still attached and just move them out of the way enough to get the clutch out? Just a thought.The other possibility is to remove as much of the fluid from the system and try some heat on the disconnect to loosen it up.I use a pencil torch for stuff like frozen bleeder valves.A pencil torch has a very thin and hot flame and will concentrate the heat right where it’s needed without damaging other components(like slave,master cylinders,callipers,etc.) Harbor freight has pencil torches.
