Help with clutch quick release!
quick release clutch pipe, more like chinese puzzle release.
The one on my car is made of brass and looks like a 20mm cartridge case with black plastic pipes at each end. The Haynes manual says use a small screwdriver or v - shaped tool.. No pictures, where exactly would you apply such a screwdriver. Needlees to say HELP..... how do you open the crazy thing? :xmas-smiley-013: |

I believe it's one of those counter-intuitive systems. You push something in while pulling it apart. Same principle as those solderless, push-fit plumbing joints - if you know what I mean.

join it back up.
I managed to get the thing open by pushing the ring towards the center.
Ho do you rejoin the connector? |
