Default slave cylinder line wont go back on. help!!!

ive done a bit of research on the web about this but i cant find an exact answer.

heres what happend i swapped motors in my T/A. Now when i try to connect the quick connect hydraulic line back to the slave cylinder it feels like there is too much pressure behind the slave line inlet port. That being said the line just wont go back on to the slave, im not weak by any means lol.

Should i crack the slave port to relieve the pressure within the slave cylinder? Or what? Motor swaps by yourself are so much fun btw. lol

7/16 socket and loosen the bleeder. Line will clip right in, make sure theres no dirt/debris. Then bleed it. I use a pressure bleeder from KD tools and put about 15psi through the cap. Bleed the slave, and Ive never had hydraulic/air line issues ever. One shot deal..
