Default Slave cylinder line wont connect

Ive tried the search fuction and the methods some have tried but my line still wont connect to the slave cylinder.

This is the factory slave cylinder which i unhooked to remove the transmission, now it will not go in.

Ive used the bleeder screw to bleed the system, i even have another slave cylinder sitting on the shelf which i tried to hook the line up to but it still wont click. any suggestions?

Tried opening the bleeder while installing the line?
Have you depressed the valve in the line at the quick connect?
You will have to bleed after these are done though....

I eventually got it after hours of trial and error....it turned out the be the O- ring was not letting it slip in easily....after sliding it back, it snapped in...

I use an open ended 13mm wrench to brace against the line, helps you get some more leverage.
