Clutch Bleeding...How much more does it want??

New master cylinder installed.
New Slave cylinder installed a few months ago.
New blue hose from reservoir to master cylinder.

Master cylinder had failed and I had to do a complete replacement. After a week of fighting, it's in.

I'm attemping to bleed the clutch system.
  • Drained the old fluid from the reservoir.
  • Topped it off with new fluid.
  • Pedal goes to the floor, obviously.
  • Been doing the method of clutch down, open bleeder on slave, close bleeder, pull up clutch (topping the reservoir every 3 or 4 times) all day. There are no signs that the clutch is getting any stiffer. Been through 1.5 pints of brake fluid so far.
  • Fluid comes out of the bleed valve smoothly without any noticable air bubbling.
How much more should I expect to have to do this? First time bleeder here.
