Default Clutch master cylinder problem

Today i installed a new clutch master cylinder . I drained all the fluid from the bleeder valve and then started to remove and install the new one. I also put in a new SS braided clutch line as well. after i was done i started to fill fluid. i pressed the clutch pedal down and the fluid didnt go anywhere. I wanted to bleed the clutch and for some reason the fluid wont go trough the lines and out the bleeder valve. anyone know a solution? the SS line is from extreme psi so is the cylinder. what am i doing wrong here if anyone can give me some advice

Did you open the valve underneither the car, while someone had the pedal pushed down?

Yes, bleeder valve is open fully. when clutch pedal is pressed down it stays on the floor and then i look at the reservior and its still full of fluid and not going anywhere..

Just to make sure. Are you pushing the pedal down first? While the valve is closed. Then opening it after its already to the floor?

If thats what your doing and its not working then the only thing i could think of is making sure nothing is blocking it in the cylinder from going down?

Fixed, i had to adjust the rod on the cylinder since the pedal wasnt touching the floor. silly me , always the little crap that gets in the way. lol
