I have a new SS clutch line I'm wanting to install.
Has anyone got any tips for for removing the back one where it connects to the metal hardline there? Did you come through underneath? RHD ST202 -------------------- |

PB Blaster and use a flare wrench so you don't strip it (pictured).

Correct,but you need a GOOD one. The ones pictured will bend open and round or just break if the line is really seized.
It doesn't need to be Snapon but you can see how much thicker a good set is.  Craftsman are built well enough for this task and will work many times better than the Harbor Freight quality level tools. -------------------- |

Yeah, I'll definitely be using a flared wrench. The part I'm interested in is how do you get to it?
Mine sits above the transmission and heads over to the brake proportional valve on the firewall. I'm guessing LHD don't head over that way? -------------------- |

Snap a photo. It should be hardline almost all the way till the flexible rubber portion.

I know where it is & where it goes. Even with the gearbox out it still looks tricky to get too. Photos won't really help as there are too many hoses around it to see it clearly.
If my what is on the drivers or passengers side? -------------------- |

Managed to get a good angle.
  I won't have an problem doing the transmission side, but the steering rack & power steering hoses are very much in the way for doing the firewall side. -------------------- |

RHD or LHD shouldnt matter where the rubber line is. Should be from the P valve to the transmission.

not the best picture, but i was wondering why you have such a hard time...
 however, comparing pictures. LHD cars have easier access to remove this line, than RHD. looks like your only bet will be to remove the steering rack out of the way... which will not be easy... or find a way to move those lines out of the way, instead of removing the rack -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...

Yea your side does look like it has more access.
If I can move the PS hoses out of the way it should give room between the steering rack -------------------- |
