I need help!

The hose inside the kick panel is leaking, and I'm glad is ATF.
Do one have to go trough the metal panel cuts or is it a better way? I did remove the metal tube from the rubber hose close to you, but the farthest  second connection is very difficult.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

If the second connection you are referring to is the connection to the metal line that goes into the door, there is no easier way than working through the metal panel cuts.  Unless you want to open up the door and remove the door metal line.

Depending on how the metal line coming from the door is bent, it may be easier to work from the inside with the door closed to get the best angle to put a wrench on the rubber hose and one on the metal line fitting.

I did remove the hose using the metal cuts. Tomorrow,  I'll be going to a hydraulic hose facility  in town to buy the hose and add the right connections.
Thanks for your answer and BTW, I love your '49 convertible colour.
