Clutch line help on a 98 Accord

K it's like a civic, hydro clutch..

Basically it's a massive pipe that goes from the release cylinder to the master cylinder.. This pipe has a lil flex hose in between. that flex hose had a cut in it and ripped out spewing fluid everywhere..

I bought a whole new clutch line for it.. I put it in 4 times beginning to end. The damn thing will not build pressure when i try to bleed the system.. When i press the pedal down it will not come back up.. When i press the pedal down I can hear air almost leaking out from the master cylinder.. I can't see it or feel it htough.. I've re-seated the clutch line 4 times, in every which way possible.. I know that the clutch line is in correctly..

How possible is it that the master cylinder messed up as well?? could the seal inside have popped too?!?

I've pumped and pumped and it will not build pressure.. i followed the methods to bleed and it will not build pressure.. There is definitely some sorta air sound coming out around the master cylinder when I pump..

any opinions are appreciated..

If you are not using the vacuum bleader, then you will have to bleed it manually, if you dont get pressure, then you may have to shake it a little, pull the pedal up and kind of slam it up so it tops out and shakes the master. That usually bleeds the master cylender. Then you have to undo the bleeder on the slave clylender and push the pedal down, while the pedal is down close the bleeder on the slave and release the pedal(you will need two people for this) keep doing that opening the bleeder then pushing the pedal then close the bleeder while the pedal is still down then release the pedal after the bleeder is closed. Do that a bunch of times and it will work.
