Beware the metal tubing may have a block somewhere still.
This can be either a block by non-fluid particals or if the tube somewhere
has been bent causing the tube to have a knik. This will stop the fluid
passing easily and create a hard pedal. As the flex hose is lose anyway, try
to test the easy flow through the tubes first.
Cheers,
Hans

I have replaces the slave cylinder and master cylinder with new ones. I will
let you all know when i receive the new hose if that was the problem or if I
put the clutch disc in backwards. I am almost positive that the clutch disc
only went in one way though. Has anyone experienced this. I have a 76MGB.

If the internals of the slave cylinder is not pitted, you might well get
away with replacing the piston rubber and before assembling have the
cylinder well polished internally.
Afterwards clean the cylinder with a kind of alcohol thouroughly. I worked
with me very
well and this saved me quite some $$$ or Euro's....

Unless she is not one to be tangled with it probably just gave way. When
they break up inside you can get flaps that act like valves and these can
make the pedal hard. When I replaced my clutch hydraulics I used the pedal
to empty the m/c to make sure clean fluid was coming through the pipe, then
refilled the system using a Gunsons Eezi-Bleed on very low pressure from the
*slave* bleed nipple. That refilled the system in a few seconds, and it
didn't need bleeding at all. You are looking for about 1/2" travel at the
slave piston. If you haven't replaced the slave cylinder you should.
