I'm in the same boat, hydro clutches are a bear to bleed. One thing that i'm going to try as soon as i get some time.
Gravity bleed it for a while, make to to keep the fluid in the master or more air will be introduced into the system.
Remove the cap and pump the pedal slowly 50 times replace cap and check for pressure. repeat in needed
