Bleeding air out of this clutch pressure system is a complete nightmare man. The way I did it (and there's a lot of DIYs out there) with two people was to:
- top off reservoir
- person in cabin pumps clutch to build up pressure, keep clutch pressed in
- person under car bleeds air out via bleeder valve and closes before fluid bleeds out
- person in cabin checks reservoir level
repeat that until the clutch pedal feels right. the person inside the cabin may feel the clutch lose pressure as you bleed due to some fluid coming out, but they should be able to pump it back up to build pressure.
ive heard stories of people literally taking an hour or more of doing this to get all the air out. it's a pain in the *** man. you can knock on the internals a bit with a metal tool of some sort to knock loose air bubbles also, it may help.
