there is one nut holding the line into the top of the slave cylinder and it is 10mm we tried a regular 10mm wrench at first but now the nut is all stripped and i need to find a way to get it off because i havent been able to drive my car for over a week anyone have ne idea how i can get it off

 

I'm not too sure about getting it off now that it's stripped, maybe some vise-grips and a prayer? But next time, definitely save yourself the trouble and borrow/buy a flare-nut wrench (mine was $30 from crap-on, but you can get them much cheaper). Honda flare-nuts are notorious for stripping with anything BUT a flare-nut wrench.
Maybe since it's already stripped, you could take the whole line off and replace that, too (hope its not a hard line!). You'll curse yourself if you re-install the new cylinder with the stripped nut, then have to f!ck with it again if you need to remove the same cylinder again.
Good Luck!!

You could do that..

Edit: reading is fundamental...... Its a NUT not a BOLT! Yea, vice grips and a prayer, i have gotten alot of stuff off with vice grips, primative but they get the job done.

 

i actually did my master cylinder last week. luckily it broke loose without a problem. visegrips would prob work on a stripped nut. Or get a file and clean up the nut a little n try to get a flare nut wrench onto it.

 

thanks for the replys guys.....i was going to try and take the whole line off too but one of my friends friends who was there already tried without me knowing and stripped that one too...i have been spraying lots of penetrating fluid in there hopefully with a set of vice grips i can pry it off

 

i tried vice grips last night and it was just stripping it more.....i had a real tight grip on it too I also put a bunch of penetrating fluid on the nut again before i shut my hood.....any ideas to try today?

 

I hate to say it, but you need to start off with the right tools. A line wrench would have had it off in 2 seconds. I agree with everyone else that your going to have to get it with vice grips. Maybe a little heat to go along with it. Keep trying.

 

vicegrips ?

 

Since the nuts are part of the line, it is now junk and needs to be replaced. Are you trying to replace the slave cylinder? If you need to keep the cylinder, cut the line near the cylinder and remove the unit from the car. Then clamp the nut end in a vice and turn the cylinder to remove the line. The end attached to the flex hose on the other end will probably not be much fun either. Maybe not as bad due to not being quite as exposed to road crud. Either get a new hose from Honda or measure the length of the old one and get a straight length of line with the correct ends from the auto parts store and bend it to fit.

 

i just took it to a shop today didnt feel like dealing with it anymore i got crappy tools and im not buying good ones because im getting a new car soon.....they are gonna replace the line and install it for like 50 bucks thanks for the help guys
