Need a Snapshot of Installed Clutch Slave Hose

[Dan Sarandrea (Phila)]

The installation of the clutch slave cylinder hose is a little weird.

Does it really get positioned in an S-shape as the shop manual picture seems to show?

Dunno, it's a stiff heavy hose and it just seems like tight bends like in the pic would put undue stress on the connections and the hose crimps.

Yes, it really does. As you tighten the banjo bolt on the end of the slave, set it at an angle that doesn't put a kink or sharp bend into the hose.

As Eric and the Shop Manual said... YES! nt
