clutch bleeding issues
i have replaced my cmc, slave, and hard lines. I am in the process of bleeding the system but I have a huge problem. No, and i mean no fluid is being pumped by the cmc (clutch master cylinder). I feel no air pushed through the bleeder nipple and the fluid level in the resivoir is certainly not decreasing when I try to 2 man bleed the system or one man for that matter.
I think I bench bled my cmc but its my first time doing it and the instructions were for a brake master cylinder not a cmc.
This is the second cmc i've tried so ITS NOT the cmc or the slave. No holes in the hard lines, and no leaks anywhere!
I'm dumbfounded with the crap and I'm considering hari kari, so please help!!!

First time I bled my clutch I thought it was never going to end because I thought after pumping and pumping it should return after depressing the pedal. WRONG! If you replaced both they should, hopefully, be in good condition. What I do is crack the bleed screw open a little attach tubing and let the open end sit into a container half full of Honda OEM brake fluid. Pump the pedal about 10-15 times while regularly checking the level on the CMC. Make sure it is always topped off. Once there doesn't seem to be any more air in the system (and the CMC level drops drastically after a few pumps) it's time to close off the bleeder, remove tube, top off the CMC and, put the cap back on and pull the pedal up. After that it should be all good.
Either you left the little plugs on the slave/master cylinder or there is a LOT of air in the system.
