The hose to the slave is the one that blew out. I have another one coming
however, I just wanted to know some of your thoughts on why it blew and why
the petal was difficult to push in.

did you replace the slave cyl hose?
If not - do it. Does not cost that much and it is worth while.
Bleeding in your way with someone pushing the pedal on your command should
be going fine.
I did bleeding this way of the cluth in 15 minutes from scratch. You must
beware that the reservoir keeps its level. Pedal move should be easy.
Perhaps the metal tube from the master cyl. to the hose is clogged.
Have it cleaned - flushed with a kind of alcohol.
Good luck.

Subject: The famous Clutch!!!
Ok Ok I know I have been working on my clutch now for weeks and still can't
get it to work right. I bled the clutch over the weekend and while my wife
pushed the petal in; the rubber hose started to spray fluid. she also
mentioned that the petal was getting tough to push. Does this sound like the
hose is bad or can it be something worse that caused the hose to break. It
appears to me that you can't put the clutch in backwards because it won't
slide over the spindle to the transmission. Am I correct? Regardless I am
going to get a new hose I just wanted to know your thoughts.
