Either you missed a bolt (there's one on the backside that goes in the opposite way as the rest) or the dowel pins are stuck, carefully tap a bit on the front where the engine and transmission meet and see if it starts to separate then pry carefully with a large screwdriver or prybar.

It's possible you didn't get the clutch fork seated properly on the ball it piviots on (be sure to grease this pivot point with some hi-temp grease as well) or may not have gotten the release/throwout bearing under the release fork properly. The pics don't really tell us anything unfortunately, speaking of which I edited your post so the pics display.

I didnt see you post about the hose that connects from the master to the slave. Has that been replaced?

i didint replace the hose because all of that is working properly... the problem that im having is that the clutch fork wont push back the pin in the slave cylinder. thats why my pedal gets stuck. thanx for the help 94eg8! is there anything esl i should take a picture so it can make it easyer to identify???

Don't rule out that flex hose, sometimes they separate inside and the inner layers collapse and wont let fluid back through, doesn't happen often but it can. Take pictures with the release fork and throwout bearing together and on the transmission (with the transmission still off the car) if you can.
