the repair manual says to put a rubber hose over the bleeder valve...open the valve. put the rubber hose in a bottle of brake fluid and pump the pedal. that is how i did mine. no probs.

check the master cylender. seal could be broken allowing air to get into the lines

Are you bleeding it correctly? When I changed out my Clutch Master Cylinder, I had to repeat the bleeding process about 5 times before I got any pressure into the line.

Crack open bleeder screw.
Press clutch pedal all the way down.
Close bleeder screw.
Release clutch pedal.

You do need 2 people to bleed it properly.
