Angry What am I doing wrong?

So i have installed my new SACHS clutch master cylinder and I have been trying to bleed the system and I can get pumps that will push fluid out, and others that do nothing. After flushing for a half hour, I've still got no pedal pressure and the fluid isnt being sucked from the master cylinder anymore. I havent put in the new slave yet, but thats due to poor tools so that will have to wait. I have made sure that all fittings have been tightened down properly so there are no leaks.

Does anyone have any clues or ideas what could be the problem?

you bench bleed the master?
If you didnt sometimes the air will stay inside and when pressing on the clutch pedal, the air will move down towards the slave, and when you release the clutch pedal, it will move up towards the master. The air pocket basically move around but will not escape. Happened to me once when I was in a hurry when my clutch master leaked and I had to fix it on the spot.

yea i didnt bench bleeds either my brake or clutch master and now i have problems with both, brakes dont catch till right on bottom and ive even been going 115 and slammed the brakes to only slow down a little bit(not lock up the wheels) and my clutch master just gets to where i need to pump it if it sits for too long(over a few weeks) the clutch master i cant bleed to get any more air out so i just re adjusted the clutch pedal itself to work for me
