I have messed with "Quick Connects" before, but this one ain't workin.... How the heck do you disconnect these two? I removed the little white plastic collar that sat just below the lip on the red side. At first, I kept pushing the hose into the connector, because it pushes in a bit, and I tried pushing the white collar down, then I thought I should be able to pull the hose out after that. But didn't work.... How do you separate these two? bah!!!!!!!
Put the white collar back in there. Then while pushing the white collar firmly in the sleeve, pull them apart. There is a special tool for this that is simply a handle that lets you lever the collar down, but it doesn't take much effort.

Here's what the tool looks like.
Yea, thats what I figured!!!!!! I tried that already (shhhh, I used screwdrivers and needle nose pliers to push down on the white collar). Well, thanks AGAIN Monzsta! Maybe I should go ahead and find a "special tool" somewhere.... pfffft...

That's perfectly acceptable. Just keep trying, you'll get it. It helps to push the two together as you're shoving the collar down.
After taking the tranny out 3 times...the best I could do to "Quick Disconnect" it was to push the white clip down into the hole as far as you can all the way around the line. It would work some of the time..lol. Whoever did it the first time really fucked the little clip up.
But I ended up buying a whole new slave cylinder and line so it disconnects a lot easier now.

lol, Thanks Steveo, I think I'm running into the same thing. Your post was very encouraging although it may seem quite the opposite, lol!
I got my new slave cylinder in today and found some time to take a look at it tonight. Inspecting the new one, where the hydraulic clutch line connects, revealed the internal design of the so called "Quick Release". Inside are just some "claws" so I realized how it all worked. The white plastic collar needs to be pushed down really hard and far to retract those "claws". After I pushed it down pretty good, it came apart fairly easy. So woo hoo.....

yep you really have to push it in, thats why the tool helps as it give more leverage. Make sure to push them back togather frimly too as they sometimes feel like they are connected when they are not.
