Then you can just cut the rubber hose off the end and slide on a new piece of transmission line hose. I cut the crimp off with a dremel, and it does involved removing the headlight motor which is really easy, so you can get the dremel in on the line without removing it. Also the nipple on the reservoir is a larger size than the hardline, so i had to use 2 sizes of hose, and just put in a 90 degree elbow right under the reservoir with i think a 1/4" end and a 3/8" end, and then used the appropriate size hose (I drilled out the brass elbow and made the passage larger). Worked great and cost all of about 7 bucks. For some reason 3/8" and 5/16" hose is what i recall using. Follow the rubber line up behind the passenger side headlight, and you should see the crimp you need to cut off (It acts as a permanent hoseclamp). Or you can replace the entire line as well if you wnat to drop the cash. If you do that, just make sure you put in a new line, and not a used one.
