It is not that difficult to do. Like with a lot of things in life, if you have patients - you already have the job half done!!

It has been awhile since I have done one, but from what I can remember it is a PITA to get crack the clutch line off of the slave cylinder if you don't have a clutch/brake line socket. Fat wrenches also become a problem when you are trying to crack the clutch line from the slave. So, to get a wrench in there, you should loosen the three bolts that hold the slave cyliner down. This will allow the slave cylinder to move forward and backwards - allowing you room to get your 13mm wrench in there to crack the clutch line off of the slave. Cracking the clutch line at the master is no big deal. Oh... that reminds me.... before removing the clutch line, make sure you pinch the feed hose from the brake master cylinder to the clutch master cylinder. You don't want to end up bleeding the brakes too!! ;)

Once you have install the new clutch line bleeding has to be done. What I always do is use a brake fluid reservoir cap from an abs Saab (9000 or 900) that has a little breather hole on top. Switch it with your car's existing brake fluid reservior cap (only to bleed the system and then switch it back); open the bleeder nipple on the slave cylinder; and put a air blower (as I would describe it) on the end of your air hose and gentle pressurize the brake fluid reservior by placing the air blower over the small hole on the cap. This in turn will pressurize the clutch line (assuming you have unpinched your clutch feed line from the brake fluid reservior). You don't need much pressure here so don't go crazy - 5 p.s.i. is plenty to bleed the clutch line.

Hope the above helps.
