Title: MV6 Clutch hose clip
Post by: cwill144 on 17 February 2010, 23:51:10

After fitting a new engine to my MV6 with manual gearbox I have fitted the clutch flexi hose back into the connector on the bulkhead but when trying to fit the 'U' clip back in I am finding it impossible. The pipe seams to be fully home and I can fit the clip in most of the way but it will not sit fully in any advice? have messed something up with the hose? Itryed a new clip but will not go in.

Access and visibility is poor for that connector.
Try wetting the O rings with a little brake fluid, this might allow the connector to go in a fraction further.
Other possibility is that it is inserted too far, it relies on the O ring being tight in the bore to seal, rather than sealing against the end of the bore so might have been designed with a bit of extra depth.
