Question Hydraulic Clutch Troubleshooting Pointers?? PLEASE

Hello Ford truck Gods
I have a ‘84 full size Bronco that is being a real bitch lol. So she has been sitting in my driveway sense October when I put a new (okay it was a reman but whacha going to do?) clutch disk in her - the pressure plate, flywheel, through out barring were all still good. At that time I bought new master and slave cylinders and installed them at the same time as the clutch job. Now there are no inspection plate covers on my bell housing. The closest thing I have to that is the boot that’s around the fork.

Now I have bleed it several times and I wasent getting enough throw to release the clutch fully so I exchanged the master cylinder for a new one (both my master and slave have the oh so valuable lifetime warranty on them ) So I put the newest master on, followed the instructions to a T and I still do not have enough throw to disengage the clutch all the dog gone way. I’m really tempted to replace the slave because it’s a reman, nothing is new now a days I tried extending the rod going from the clutch petal linkage to the back of the clutch master cylinder and that didn’t work either. So I have a real predicament on my hands savvy.

I have tryed bleeding several different ways. And all the ways I can hear it working the pressure plate when the petal is depressed.
So any and all Ford Greus out there that wish to take a wack at me problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all
