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.

You didn't cut to the issue, you cut to your corrective actions.

First, lets start with what car you drive, engine, transmission, clutch type, and why you decided to replace all of those parts. Was the clutch working fine (hydraulically) before you decided to replace these parts?

CMC kept blowing a bolt off. Which blows my mind. I rebuilt it twice. New cmc wouldn't bleed. Figured it was my line. I thought I cracked it. So I got a braided line. Issue persisted. Checked the slave. The bore in it had a slight notch in the medal. I then went to parts store to see theirs. No notch in new one. So I figured that notch is from wear and allowing some bubbles in or leaking. I've checked my connections. Yesterday I replaced the cmc again just to be sure.

What is causing the bolt to "blow off"? Is this one of the mounting bolts?

Still need vehicle and modification history from you. Chevy trucks are also known for breaking CMC bolts.

On the 07 si coupe cmc there is a part on it that has 3 bolts securing a cap. Inside is a seal & medal disc. I had 1 of 3 break twice. 1st time I replaced the broken bolt with a higher grade one. Second time the bolt that blew off was a original bolt, which I should of replaced the first time. No mods on clutch. Oem clutch. Thenot i decided to get a em1 cmc & convert it. Which I couldn't bleed. So I got a different line. Then I had issues again bleeding. So I checked the slave & inside the bore I found a notch so I checked a new one & the new one didnt have it. Is this correct? 07 si slave*

When bleeding cmc. I have it out & one man bleeding. Plus a catch bottle & a bottle going to cmc resivour nipped. All using see through hoses. When pumping the em1 cmc. Do I press down all the way? I'm not sure but is therected a bypass valve that let's air in? Same with slave?
