I have an 87 bronco 2 with a 3" body lift. I just replaced the clutch.
While putting everything back together I noticed the hydraulic clutch line is
not long enough to put back into place no matter how hard I pull on it. What
can I do?

Is it steel or plastic?

Will a line from a full size truck work?

Its plastic, and it has quick disconnects of sorts on the ends, another of
ford's
better ideas.

Thing that I wonder about is it fit before he took it apart.

But because of the angle to work with, there is just no way to pull it that
tight. I wasnt sure if a line from a full sized truck would work. I'll look
into that. It's a plastic line, but a steel tube inside. It has to go into
the hole far enough for this stupid pin to slide through to hold it in place.

I've never worked on a BRII. I knew the full size ones were plastic/metal,
but not if they'd fit.
....and, they're a real bear to bleed.

You can remove the body lift, or you can put on a longer brake line.

Check out this thread on a web board for a car that has a similar
clutch setup. Someone is looking to make different lines for them
since the stock design isn't generally available and folks often cut
the line foolishly thinking they can get a new one later.

In 1987 the "full sized truck" and the "Full Sized Bronco" have the same
parts pieces and dimensions and clutch lines...

Yes, but HE's working on a bronco II.
