Take that trans brace off, that will help. And I'm talking about the very front side of the transmission, there is a piece of sheet metal protecting the front side of the transmission and flywheel where 2 small 10mm bolts hold it in place.
There is a specific way to take the clutch line out, but you ended up ruining it anyways so hope you can get it out of the slave cylinder. That plastic ring needs to be push in the cylinder sleeve while you push in the line, then pull put the line while still pushing in the ring.

Those two 10mm bolts you speak of I believe are the first ones I took off when I started on the bolts. You will see a pic where they were, I had wiped some of the grease off to see better.
I sprayed WD40 and Brake Cleaner in at the clutch area and the slave cylinder. Letting it sit a bit to see if I can make it come loose.
Here are the pics.

It's a Canadian thing eh!
Well better go buy a new slave cylinder too... You snapped off the fitting that goes right into the slave, so you wont be able to re-connect the clutch line.
Looks like the only thing holding on your trans is the support brace, then it should slide right backwards. Use a floor jack so you don't drop it on yourself or a trans jack.

I actually have a trans jack supporting it. The trans looked to heavy and I did not feel like being in pain from it falling on me. I just did not realize it would be this difficult to remove the transmission.
And yes I ordered a new line, lol.
I just can seem to brake the transmission loose. I am close to giving up and having it towed to a shop.

And i know you ordered a new hydraulic clutch line, but now you also need the whole slave cylinder itself because you snapped the fitting inside of it. This is the part you broke, so now you need the whole thing

You can get it off, just keep working up down back and forth and it should slide right off, but that brace that hold the transmission in place is getting it in the way, unbolt and remove it completely.

I have the following to install, this is what your talking about right? And the brace your talking about is the trans jack? I am afraid if the trans fall but end first that it's going to bend where it connects into where the clutch is.

Now the brace im talking about it the frame piece that holds the transmission to the vehicle frame. If you have a trans jack under it supporting it your ok it will slide backwards. I've done this with a floor jack with a piece of 2x4 without even having to lift up my truck. Put the jack under the trans, remove the brace and that should be the only thing in your way to getting it off the engine.

One more thing, this is about 6 inches or so of free space between the rear of the trans and that brace. But I will remove it anyways and if I pull on the rear of the trans will that to any hard at the front of it?

No wont be hard on the front, just be sure the trans is right up against the engine, place your jack, remove the brace and then it will just slide backwards, wont hurt the engine or the transmission, it will just want to sag downwards but be careful it doesn't slide off on you.
