Default Hydraulic Clutch line WON'T GO BACK IN!

Ok, now I'm seriously pissed off. The hydraulic clutch line will not go back into the slave on the tranny! I've cleaned it out, put on a new O-ring, I've even pulled the little metal ring with the teeth out of the connection point on the slave! What the hell is going on? I've even tried a pry bar and everything is clean inside and out! PLEASE HELP ME OUT.

Crack the bleeder open and it will push right in.

Default Update

We cracked the bleeder, drained all the hydraulic/brake fluid and still the thing won't push back in. We dropped the tranny back out, took out the slave cylinder and tried to hook it up and it still wouldn't connect. We did notice that the little metal "teeth" ring inside the brass fitting on the slave cylinder was pretty goobered up though. I'm getting a new slave cylinder in a few minutes with new fittings and we'll try that out and tell you how it goes.

Thanks

should click right in very easy, with or with out the open bleeder. also OTC makes a line tool that is so easy to disconnect and reconnect than the screw driver method, and for only 25 bucks. you still have the white plastic ring on right.
