no it wont remove the pill. But worth doing them both at the same time i just got done installing the 8 piece bushing kit, 2 pc underhood, and the restrictor removal with ss line it was worth it everything is so much smoother.

The pill is a breeze and It makes the difference. Just don't get fluid everywhere - Evomoto's step by step is very good, use it.

Wished I'd done it in the first 1000 miles

I found the SS line that I had to be a BEAR, trying to get the top banjo bolt started. I've had it in and out of the car a few times and gave up the last time because I could start the bolt. Stock one always goes right back on.

Maybe yours will be different. I'm reasonably skilled (Cams & Gears , Exhaust, IC piping, etc...) but that thing is tough to work with because of the small area. I even loosened the clutch pedal from inside the cabin and pulled it forward an inch or so to get at it, but no luck.)


Good Luck Whatever you do

i had the same problem getting the najo bolt in and i found that if you hold the line up ward towards the hood and put a little bit of greese onto the copper washer it will go right in. also if you dont have one you might want to go get yourself a claw grabber tool (sorry for the incorrect name but when you see it you will know what it is) because the magnet wont work with the copper and you will drop the washer a few times.

I've had two SS clutch lines in my car. The first one didn't have the bend like the OE line at the master cylinder. I ended up removing my clutch master cylinder to get that thing on right. I later replaced that line w/ the WORKS line, which has the bend in it like the OE line and it was EASY starting the thread on that banjo bolt.

For those of you having a b*tch of a time getting the banjo bolt on, I recommend you save yourself the trouble and just pull the clutch master cylinder out.
