Exclamation clutch problems. HELP!!

1994 5spd 4cyl ranger's throwout bearing welded itself to the slave cyl. in the trans. i put a new clutch disc, pilot bearing, pressure plate, master cyl, slave cyl. the manual says that if u put fluid in the res, and open the bleeder valve, the system will self bleed. i poured 4 32oz bottles of fluid through the system, and the pedal still doesnt get any pressure. i look in the inspection hole while my dad pumped the pedal, and the slave only moves like .5 cm. i thought that maybe they sold me bad master and slave cylendars, so i dropped the trans again, took out the slave, and took out the master, and installed new units, poured 3 more bottles through it, this time with vacuum on the bleeder and pressure on the resuvour. i still get nothing. no cracks in the hyd. line. i dont know what to do. ive asked my mechanic and he said that normaly they put the slaves in, pump the pedal a few times and its done. im lost. i have no idea what to do. tried damn neer everything. any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED. thanks.

Try bleeding the master cylinder first by itself. I don't have the procedure in front of me.

reverse it...put pressure on the bleeder, and a vacuum on the resivour...this is the only way I could get mine working...but when you are done make sure that you release the vacuum on the resivour.
