at that point, i had lost patience.

clutch return spring appears to be in tact, but if I just propped back the pedal, I suppose that would help? I guess Im just going to leave the existing line like it is (pinched) until I get new line from Max (Paul) and can hook it up to new (to me) 245 and bleed it.

The orginal line is white plastic (like Delrin), for some reason rubber was not recommended.

However, if you remove the hose from the slave and do not cap it, then fluid will drip out if your clutch pedal return spring is broken (which many are). If you have a good pedal return spring, not much will leak out. My pedal spring is good, so I just put a rubber bleeder screw cap on the end of the line.

master cyl. of fluid? right now Ive got the hose pinched with vice grips.

(just removed grime-covered flywheel--where does the grease come from main seal??)
