its actually pretty easy once you figure it out.
i worked on it for hours and hours also then made my own pressurized system to force fluid down the hose.
first take the bleeder valve all the way out of the slave cylinder to make sure its not crudded up. otherwise it will never work.
then assemble everything as normal and back set up the slave cylinder with a hose connected to the bleeder valve screw (1/2 turn opened) with other end of hose submerged in bottle of brake fluid like with bleeding brakes.
next find a bottle with a tappered nozzle like on a gear oil bottle or on some kinds of mustard or other condiments. here's why. you can get all the bubbles out if you just disconnect the blue hose from the brake fluid tank and stick the bottle with the tappered nozzle in there and squeeze really hard. fill the bottle with brake fluid not mustard of course. you may be wondering how you get the system back together when you are done, but you should have plugged up the brake fluid tank some how to keep it from all leaking out. then you can hold the blue hose really close to the tank and jerk the bottle nozzle out of the hose, remove the tank plug, and smush the whole thing together really fast. fluid will leak, but it will work.
good luck. tell me if it works.
oh yeah, be really careful with the little connector on the brake fluid tank, its pretty fragile.
