Had a brake fluid leak from rear wheel cylinder so replaced it. As the fluid had gone to empty I went to bleed the clutch, nipple sheared off so I got a new slave cylinder.

Tried to remove the pipe from it and it rounded. Tried to disconnect the metal pipe from the flexible pipe and the metal pipe eventually sheared off. I don't think there's any way I'm getting the remains of the metal pipe out of the flexible pipe.

If I buy a new flexible pipe I expect I'm going to have the same issues with the other end of the existing flexible pipe. Anything I can do here to a list replacing all the clutch lines?

Brickwerks do a clutch pipe repair kit that you can either run front to back, or splice into a good section further along the van. Comes pre flared as needed.

A similar thing happened to me, could not get the white plastic pipe disconnected from the cylinder or the copper pipe. Ended up cutting the copper pipe in the middle of the van and joining it (as mentioned above), replaced with new copper and flexi.

Thanks all, I've ordered the kit from Brickwerks
