Default Throw out bearing install

Hey everyone, I just installed a new clutch and throw out bearing in my 07 z06. With the line disconnected to the slave the clutch pedal is stiff and will not move, I had some trouble getting the line to reconnect, the oring had enlarged slightly and would not let the line snap all the way in. I have the line installed now but the clutch pedal is still rock had even with the bleeder open. Anyone had a similar issue? the car was apart for awhile.

The disconnect between the master and slave cylinder lines is not seated/clipped all the way in correctly, and the valve between the two in the connector is still closed.

That connection is really hard to push in. It took me a while and some creative thinking. Put the clip inside the female end, and when it snaps, you know you're on.

When I changed mine out I could never get the two to fit together. I ended up swapping parts off of the old slave to get them to fit. I don't remember what parts I swapped, sorry. But it was pretty quick and easy once I figured it out.

It finally went, but what a pain, a lot of patience and two people, one holding the line from the outside through the inner fender and another pushing with everything he had! Thanks all!
