I was in the process of replacing my master clutch cylinder in my 07 TLS. I cannot for the life of me remove the clutch line from the master cylinder. In the manual it mentions a pin, but I don't see one. Even in one of the DIYs here it mentions the pin. Instead I see different pins that are preventing from the master cylinder from detaching. Here is a picture:

Any feedback appreciated!

 

lol sorry i'm obviously new to this. here is the picture

 

You need two wrenches. Make sure they are line wrenches. Google it if your not sure. If you hold the larger of the two fittings and then unthread the smaller fitting it should come out. These fittings and lines are delicate and are easy to round off or cross thread. Make sure to use the right size, should be metric, and i would use some PB Blaster or similar. When you go back together thread it together with your your fingers before wrenching on it.

not sure about the pins unless you have to knock those out to remove the larger fitting from the unit. Check out the new unit and compare them. If those pins have to be removed i would remove them on the bench.

Hope this helps.

 

I just did my master cylinder and the larger fitting is retained by a U shaped pin. I did like STL Acura suggested and used to small wrenches. It took some time and serious patients but it did come off. Getting it back together was more difficult in my case because the two pieces did not want to line up right. In all I think I spent the better part of an hour just getting the fittings apart and back together again.
