Do I need to cut the middle of the old line out and then slide the new line over whats left of the old line. Then clamp it down

No, use a length of hose that will replace the whole old hose. It's okay to cut the hard line to slip the hose over. give yourself about two inches onto the hardline.

The ones you want are not a solid ring, the ones' you want will have a bump or the like in the ring that you can crimp.

So I got the new line in. 1/4 was to thin so i had to go with a 3/8 line. The only problem I am having is as much as I try bleeding it. I cant get any pressure. Ive tried all kinds of ways including a vacuum bleeder and it still doesn't get pressure. Any ideas

You can try to gravity bleed it over a few hours, but for me I just pumped and pumped and pumped some more and it finally started working. Took about 30 min of switching legs,felt like I'd been on a stair stepper by the time I got done.
