Dude I feel your pain! I came here looking for answers to the exact same question. We must be missing something simple because the whole process isn't that complicated.

Good luck - I will get back to you if I figure it out.

What you have to do is close the bleeder on the slave. Pump the clutch pedal a few times (like 5 times) and on the last one keep the pedal to the floor. You can brace it with wood if your doing it solo. Once its pumped and braced to the floor crack the bleeder for a second then close it. Repeat many times. Right when you think its not working you'll eventually feel pressure on the pedal.

Hopefully you solved the initial problem of lost pressure when you replaced your CMS and CSC.
