Default Clutch bleeding problem....

Ok so I finished my motor swap last night and got everything back on the car. I try to push on the clutch and it just went down to the floor, so pull out my mighty vac and start doing work. Well I guess I bled the damn thing for about an hour and the clutch has pressure but it wont disengage. Am I doing something wrong....do I need to keep bleeding....how exactly do you mighty vac? Should I just crack the valve on the slave and go that rout?

Thanks for any help guy!

Bleeding shouldn't take an hour haha. You should start to feel pressure after a few minutes of pumping. Something's wrong. Have you checked if there's fluid leaking anywhere? I think I told you already, but when I was installing my Tick, there was a hole on the little reservoir it came with, and leaked from there.

Well I had pressure on the pedal after a few minutes, and there is no leak anywhere....Idk what to do next except bleed it old school by cracking the MC valve.
