How do you Torque Clutch lines 1990 Accord

When replacing Clutch Master and Slave cylinders. How do you torque the lines?

Would be the same question for Master brake cylinder lines.

Thanks,

If you are asking how to ensure they are torqued to spec, then you can attach an extension (either perpendicular or horizontal) on a torque wrench with a flare nut crowfoot wrench to get positioning to read what the torque spec is (there is a formula to convert torque with a horizontal extension)…

I just use a flare nut wrench and ensure they are snug… Never have used a torque wrench for this type of work…

Agreed. They are usually in god awful places where I wouldn’t even want to think about trying to get with a torque wrench, even with the use of a crow foot and extension. Generally speaking, slap a flare nut wrench on it, seat it, then give it a snugging down, and check for leaks under pressure. If it seeps a bit, give it a bit more muscle, but don’t overdo it. After a while, you get a really good feel for how tight is right.

A torque wrench really isn’t an option as many have pointed out. I do cover the replacement of those components in this video which you might find helpful.
