Help a brother out... part source for clutch hydraulics?

Dang, I can't even remember how long ago it's been since I've been on here... My truck has been sitting under a forest of blackberry vines since 2018, when I was in mid divorce, mid business partnership break up and general chaos in my life, and kept running into one dang thing after another needing fixed, so I bought another truck and figured I'd get back to the Dodge later.

Well, today is that "later"... lol

Dug it out, dropped a new battery in and it fired up like it had been running yesterday. But the clutch pedal goes right to the floor without disengaging the clutch. I see the individual master and slave cylinders on rockauto and other places, but the FSM says that it's supposed to be all serviced as a completely assembled unit, with new line and seals and filled with fluid already.

BUT...

I can't seem to find that as an assembly anywhere I've looked so far. Anyone got a source for that?

Thanks!

You must have a Gen 1. They don,t have a prebuilt combo. There is a small roll pin holding the tube in. However it is still hard to pull the tubing out as it has been in there for a while. If replacing both cylinders you may want to source a new tubing. It is a pain to get the air out.

The gen 2 setup is very close but I have not compared them side by side to see what is different.

Yes, first gen, and I can find the individual cylinders, but not the line, or the full assy. Rockauto has the complete assemblies in the list, but not available. I saw the little pin and figured that was the way, until I looked at the FSM and that said to only replace as a complete assembly.

Inside the firewall you will find a small black pin stabbed into the bracket next to cylinder. Pry it out first as it is a lock to keep the master from turning and popping out. This is a pic of the bracket cut and turned around backwards and upside down. I am transplanting one into a ford highboy. So you will find pin lower left looking at inside of firewall.

So, the thing in the FSM about "must service as a complete assembly," that's not a thing, then? What would I do to replace that line if I can't get it free cleanly? If it's not raining too hard tomorrow maybe I'll see what happens when I try to drive those little pins out and remove the line. Something has to be done, regardless... lol

thanks!

oh, there we go... thanks!

Spendy, but probably worth since it doesn't seem to be available anywhere else that I've found yet.
