94 Ranger Clutch bleeding problem

I have a 94 Ranger 2.3 2 wheel drive. I recently put in a new clutch assembly, new slave cylinder, and a new clutch master cylinder. After giving up the fight to bleed the line, I used a vacuum bleeder to make sure all the air was out. I vacuumed from the bottom, and also from the top. I cannot get any pressure built up in the clutch and when the clutch peddle is depressed I can only see the slave move about a quarter of an inch.

All of the parts are installed correctly and all were brand new. Is there some sort of trick to bleeding this system?

Welcome to FTE!!!

I've seen a lot of posts about this problem, did you bench bleed the master?? Also try a search, there should be a lot of info on this topic.

Fixed

We bench bled it by submerging it in a small bucket of break fluid. I finally pulled the master cylinder out and had the auto parts store replace it. I put in the new one and it works like a charm now.
