marky0140 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Hey guys, on my 89 MJ 4.0L with the BA-5/10 my main clutch hydraulic line rubbed the exhaust manifold and thus has a hole. I've learnt from my local jeep dealer that while they don't have the part set that I need for a new one, I ought to be able to patch it as they say its fairly low pressure. I've been told to remove it, take it to a hydraulics shop and see if they can patch or replace a section of it. I'm hoping to preserve the original attachments and take off the rubber hose in one piece, which is all I need and avoid having to pay the 200 bucks for the line + master/slave lines. I was curious if anyone knows of any clever tricks for removing the line without damaging the attachments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 use a good set of flarenut wrenches...... spray down the threads at both ends with a good penetrant (Kroil, PB Blaster, etc. not WD-40) beforehand and give it time to wick into the threads drink beer after removing, not before :cheers: Jeff (welcome to CC, too......)

marky0140 Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 thanks. I've got a friend who does a lot on jeeps and will work for beer, so I'm gonna get him to give me a hand so I should be able to do it. Thanks for the help, and if this works you should see me around a bit more often. Also, best place to find dirt cheap ax15s? cherokees at the wrecker?

Wildman Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 You can order a replacement line......... www.rockauto.com DORMAN Part # H38935 {First Stop #5300 4504} w/Peugeot Trans $20.79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oizarod115 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 yeah the best place to find an AX15 is at the junkyard. they're listed on ebay all day long but theyre all rebuilt and 8-900$$ plus don't go for one out of a wrangler (YJ or TJ) because the t-case holes are clocked differently and it may require drop-kit or floor "modifications" to fit the transfer case. (so i guess if its 2wd and you don't want 4wd it doesn't matter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marky0140 Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 thanks guys, all very helpful. I don't really have a good mine of resources to search for things like yet and that site is a gem. And thanks for the tip on the yj/tj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marky0140 Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 update! So I finally got under it and it turns out that when the previous owner swapped out the engine they put in an ax15. So I'm going to order the line including the tubes on either end and stick it in. this actually explains why it was the line was put back improperly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
