The pump pump pump and nothing is because there isn't enough fluid inside the master cylinder. What I did was use gravity to bleed the air out. Empty all the fluid from the reservoir. Connect one end of a 30 inch long flexible clear plastic hose (1/4 diameter I believe) to the slave cylinder bleed nipple. Connect a funnel to the other end of the hose. The funnel must fit tight on the funnel. May have to use silicone sealant and allow to set for a time. Suspend the funnel up above the level of the brake/clutch fluid reservoir (lip of opened hood). Pour fluid into funnel all the way up. Open the clutch slave bleed nipple. Watch the fluid slowly rise into the reservoir. That assures you that fluid is inside both the master and slave cylinders. You may also initially see bubbles rise up from the clutch slave cylinder. Then you can take the funnel/hose off, fill the reservoir up and bleed normally. It worked for me!
