you need to pump the ish out of the pedal, it will build pressure. it is easier with 2 people..... bribe a buddy with beer to help you

I've pressed the ish out of the pedal, opening the bleeder each time, no fluid has came out, also having to pull the pedal back each time because there is no pressure. I have 4 mechanics here were all at a loss, we even put a vacuum on the bleeder and still can't get fluid to pass.

Maybe you have a colapsed clutch hose, you may concider upgrading to braided stainless.
