so after blowing the upper line on the way to the bars with my girl for her 21st bday last night, i decided to take the disco out and heres my little write up.

if this is in the wrong section please move it to whatever place it needs.

i decided to do this cause i couldnt find any write ups on the process, so for anyone in the future, this is what i did, and heres how to do it. line held great even revving up to 5k in 3rd gear in the dirt.

what youll need:
-4qt atf, i use valvolene dex-III/mercon
-14mm socket
-3/8 drive ratchet
-flat head screw driver
-oil catch pan
-card board boxes to line the ground, unless you dont mind oil spots in your garage
-for fluid when comes out of line in the front
-clippers to cut flex line, i used pvc pipe cutters cause theyll cut real fast and clean
-funnel
-paper/shop towels
-jim jefferies & eddie ifft talk shit podcast

pull apart and drain, i used the tall can and guinness bottle method, worked perfect for me

cut as close as possible to the crimp, so you have extra hose if needed

i slid three hose clamps on to the flex line. didnt flare the hard line cause there was an o ring stop on it, so it works just as well.

slid line onto and over the o ring stopping rib tightened it down nice and snug
