Default Bleeding clutch. Help!

I got a vacuum hose going from the nipple to a water battle with dot 3 fluid in it. I drop the peddle to the floor(it stays there) then I loosen the 10mm bolt. Im supposed to see air bubbles, but nothing. I tried different things already. I pumped the Pedel 10 times, tightened the bolt, loosened the bolt Yadda Yadda....

I usually have someone at the pedal, and another person at the slave. As the pedal is pressed fluid or bubbles will come out, then tighten. Bring the pedal back up when the nipples been tightened already and re-peat... well thats how i always did it

It has to be bolted on right? Because mine is. I'm doing what you stated but no bubbles, no nothing. Maybe my hose is to long. Is there another way?

Ya if theres nothing than its just air, how bigs your clutch line?

But anyway crack the nipple screw loose, press the pedal down, I usually tighten the screw rite before the pedal hits the floor. Then bring the pedal back up crack the nipple loose and repeat untill theres a steady flow of fluid, also the pedal should be getting stiffer the more you do this..

Hope this helps im not the best explainer with typing.

It's very simple. Just like bleeding brakes. Make sure the reservoir is full and the cap is on. Have someone pump the clutch pedal a few times and hold it down. Then you loosen the bleeder nipple and let the fluid come out with air. And then retighten the nipple. Now release the clutch pedal and repeat from the beginning until the fluid is clear without any bubbles. Make sure you check the reservoir.

AFter hours and hours of trouble shooting I found out what's was wrong. It took the nipple bolt off and found that the hole was clogged up.

I have pressure now!
