Are you talking about the hydraulic assist line that goes to the booster? If 
that's the case, you will have to remove some stuff, IIRC. I've only done 
all the lines at once, on two seperate cars(mine and Zay's). I figure if the 
car is going to be down, why not take them all off and have every one 
rebuilt. It was less than $200 total for: all the lines rebuilt + shipping + 
5 gals of DTE-13M. I used spokane house of hose for mine, and they don't 
leak avout five years and 65K later.

IIRC, you have to remove the heat shield and hydraulic reservior to get at 
that line. Oh, and the snorkel on that side.
