New Clutch but Line Won't Bleed

Hi everyone,
I've got a 1995 Ford Ranger V6 4x4 manual transmission. In early June, something with the clutch system went bad and the girl wouldn't move. I finally gave up on trying to replace the clutch myself and sent it in a little over 3 weeks ago. The guy I sent it into has had a hard time even himself because of all the rust that has accumulated on the frame from the previous owner. He was able to get the clutch replaced and even resurfaced the fly wheel for me. But now there's another problem. He's been trying to bleed the clutch, but nothings coming out. I'm not up to date as I'd like to be, but my gut feeling is that it wasn't the clutch from the beggining, and the slave cylinder or the master cylinder are bad, any ideas you guys, any suggestions would be amazing, thanks.

is the guy you "sent it to" a real mechanic. I hope he did not remve the tranny and replace the clutch without changing the slave cylinder, that would be strange. maybe your master cylinder is shot if he does replace the master cylinder . here is a video showing how to bleed it it ! new guy needs help with clutch and slave cylinder - Ford Ranger Forum
