ok so heres my problem.. i replaced my slave cylinder again due to a seal breaking and it was leaking fluid... well i went ahead and bought a replacement for the hi pressure hose that goes from the hard line(clutch fluid) to the slave cylinder... now when trying to remove the hose from the hard line, i rounded off the nut... where can i get a replacement hardline? and is there a way i can remove the old hose from the hardline even since the nut is rounded?? Thanks guys!!!

yea sorry to hear that. your best bet is to put some vise grips on the rounded off one and scrap it. then get another and invest in some line wrenches, this will save you alot of trouble my friend
