What tool did you use to remove the slave clutch cylinder?
I'm trying to remove the clutch pipe nut and there's like no clearance at all to put anything down there. I have a 10mm crow foot that's attached to a long extension for me to put down there to loosen it but it seems every time I try to loosen it, the crow foot would come off because it doesn't get a firm grip on it. What else can I use to loosen the clutch pipe? Let me know, thanks!

try using a 10mm line wrench, its like a open end wrench, but the tips wrap around a little bit at the top. u have to slip them onto the line, then come down on top of the nut. this may sound confusing, but trust me, these line wrenches are great. if i had a pic id post it for u, maybe some one else has one.

I actually do have one, it's called a flare nut wrench but when I put it on, I have no room at all to turn left to loosen it. I'd probably would have to remove the radiator fan to get some clearance room to be able to do that.

You can buy a crowfoot flare nut wrench believe it or not. I lucked out and bought an 11pc set without realizing that they were the flare nut type $120... work great for a lot of things. They are a bit pricey but you can get them individually as well. 10mm probably cost you around $15-$20 but they pay for themselves after the first use, they save you that much time!

Or just unscrew the two 12mm bolts holding the slave and pull it out to where you can reach it?? That IS one of the reasons that flex hose is in the clutch line...
You're trying to disconnect the line from the fitting that is in the slave cyl? Are you actually replacing the entire line? The simplest and easiest way is to punch out the small pin in the slave cyl, and that will completely release the line and fitting together. Be sure to grab a new $.27 rubber o-ring before reinstalling the line though.

I believe that is for the 98-02 Accords while on the 94-97 Accords the lines is screwed in. Different if I'm not mistaken.
