1992 Chevy Blazer 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual tohigh miles

I posted this once but didnt get the answer I need.
i have a 92 s10 blazer.I got a clutch kit for my truck and put it on. I thought I put everything back together right but my slave cylinder was not on the clutch fork right and caused the hydraulic line to burst and blow brake fluid everywhere. Now I have put a new clutch master cylinder, clutch hydraulic hose and slave cylinder on it. For some reason now it wont move the clutch fork now. Its like theres air in the system, it wont build enough pressure. I have been through bottle after bottle of fluid bleeding the system at the slave sense the master cylinder cant be bleed. I have made shure I have all the right parts for my truck. The only part that was different was the hose. The old one had a cylinder midway of the hose(witch I thought was a filter) the new one dont have that. Could that missing cylinder be what built that extra bit of pressure. Ither way my truck dont move now ( HELP )

the new

i took off the slave and put the bleed screw to the top. It didnt seem to have any air in it. Nothing but fluid came out. Could air still be in the master cylinder. If so how do I get it out theres no bleed screw

have had this trans off three times. So I know the throwout bering and fork are still on. Now when I press the clutch it has lost that stiff feeling it had and the pushrod moves about a eighth of a inch witch isnt enough to do anything.

I feel your pain as Bill Clinton used to say. The exploded view in Mitchell on demand shows the clutch slave cylinder is bolted onto the bell housing, if this is so then it is very similar to what I am used to working with in BMW cars. Try removing the slave cylinder and pushing the rod all the way into the cylinder, holding it there for a moment and then let it extend, doing this several times will bleed the air from the system. I use this method exclusively to bleed clutch hydraulics and have had 100% success rate. Please let me know if this works for you.
