95 GMC has a closed system (no bleed). My truck is at 286k miles with the original system parts still in place. The hydraulic line recently blew out so I ordered a a complete new system from Rock Auto but am having difficulty snaking the old one out. I'm trying to keep it intact so I can reverse the process with the new parts. Any hints as to ease it loose? Should I be feeding/pulling from the top or the bottom?

It’s unlikely to make much difference, but please provide engine size, chassis (1500/2500/3500) and w/ or w/o 4x4.

The exact removal process can also vary depending on what emissions systems are on it (ex. w/ or w/o smog pump system).

Also which kit did you purchase?
