1989 Ford Ranger clutch master cylinder and clutch line help?

I messed that up, I wanted to say I am in the middle of replacing my clutch master cylnder on my 1989 ford ranger 2.9 5 spd , The bottom hose seems to be a hard plastic with two flared ends that seem inseperable from the tranny and master clyn. I ended up breaking the hose off of the tranny but can not for th elife of me figure out how to get the old section off or flare it again so it will fit. Also I can't find a bleeder for it either ... thank you ...
