Another Clutch Hydraulic Line Question

I need to know if the 948cc clutch slave cylinder needs a bubble flair or a standard flair. I'm using a Standard 7/8" bore master cylinder along with the 948 slave valve.Both parts are new. I can't bleed the air from the clutch, I don't see a visible hydraulic leak from either the master cylinder connection or the slave cylinder, but I'm still getting air in the bleeder line. I have tried using a vacuum pump and manually bleeding the line. All I can think of is replacing the clutch hydraulic line.
 
I would expect it to be a bubble flair. Have you checked to be sure the flare isn't stress cracked along its diameter someplace?
 
That was what I was thinking, I will probably replace the whole line.I want to make sure I get a line with the correct flairs on both ends. Not much room down by the slave valve to try anything else.
