How to change clutch line

[Mike5442]

Soon I will be tackling the task of changing my old clutch hydraulic line to the updated stainless one.
I like to read through the factory procedure to get an idea before I start on something but all it says is to remove the body from the chassis to do this job........ Surely there is another way to change such a small line!
I haven't really studied the underside where this line runs yet, but I wanted to see what anybody here has done.

Thanks!

The manual is wrong. Disconnect the ends and pull it through. If you really need to, cut one end off first. Drain it.

The new one will be designed to run down the left side of the frame.

When removing it, whether you cut the end off or not, plug it or tape it so you don't drip brake fluid all over the place.
