How many times have you tried. I normally tell customers to fill the master resevoir. Pump the clutch pedel 4 times. Open the bleeder screw let drain. Close the screw. Repump the pedal. Make sure the resevoir never runs out of fluid. I can take 20 or more times and you will have to pull the clutch pedal off the floor. Just and FYI it is an 11mm to open the bleeder.

Thanks,
Amber

i used a mity vac and my friends foot and it took forever!!! i was working on it one night and gave up and bout 15 tries. then tried again the next night and got it after another 15 or so. i have a the bleeder extension from steve-d so i can bleed it from under the hood. its harder to use the mity vac cuase off the fitting on will leak out. but you just have to take the bleeder screw off the end of the extension and stick the mity vac in there.
