Default air will not leave clutch line

So just to cut the issue right away...

I replaced my cmc, line, & slave. I tried 2 diferent days to bleed it.

once I even clamped the slave down and tried to bleed it.
second i tried to bleed with the bleeder screw open with a hose attached going into a catch bottle and watched resvuor so it didnt go dry while a friend helped pump

Both end results the bottle looked like i shook it up. thats how bad the bubbles were. I went through a while bottle! Could of i gotten a bad CMC? no leaking on the new slave or lines.

With the mc reservoir cap off, have someone rapidly pump the clutch while you squeeze the rubber reservoir line up and down the line and see if you can get some bubbles to come to the top. I've had issues with pesky air bubbles getting caught inside that area. After getting bubbles to come up I was able to bleed it clear.

I had that problem on my '02 Civic. After hours of pumping the pedal, I drilled a hole in the Res. cap and with a tire tube valve I pressurized the res. After a few pumps of the pedal I was able to bleed the line.

Or you could have just did my trick. The pressurization also pushes the air bubble out of the spot it's at and will then push down.
