Default Help ! Can't bleed clutch master cylinder

I have posted this in Transmission forum as well but still haven't solved issue

Disconnected flex line / hard line junction to my hydraulic throwout. After I hooked it back together It should be easy job to bleed but can't get any fluid out with vacuum bleeder. Tried old fasion buddy pushing pedal down while I open bleed screw method but no fluid comming out

Tried bleeding at master cylinder bleed valve . Can't suck anything out with Mityvac vacuum bleeder . As suggested by someone in Transmission forum I managed to push fluid back from Bleed valve of master cylinder until all the master cylinder , and remote reservoir and lines all filled with new fluid

You would think at that point I should have some pedal resistance but have nothing. Disconnected at hard line / flex line junction after master cylinder and only had a dribble. Tried also vacuum bleeder and still no fluid

Hillbank suggested replacing master cylinder. I find it hard to believe that after 6000 miles the master cylinder for the clutch would have gone. Clutch worked fine before I disconnected the flex line

Any advise would be welcome
