5Ktq Clutch bleeding



Well, last night was a good night.  After almost a year a half my 5Ktq is 
running again after completing a clutch job plus some other stuff.  That job 
took me WAY to long, totally my fault.  Well, my question is, I cant seem to 
get a good clutch pedal.  I replaced the clutch slave cylinder so I need to 
bleed the system.  My brother and I must have gone through 2-3 pints of fluid 
and there is still in not much of a pedal.  I was suprised that after I gave 
up trying to bleed it that when I got the car started  the clutch did work 
but at the very bottom of the stroke.  Do I need to keep bleeding, there was 
still some air coming out, or do you think after such a long time sitting did 
the seals go in the clutch MC.  I find the latter a little hard to believe 
since I do have somewhat of a clutch.  Any BTDT's would be greatly 
appreciated.

Cheers,
Jim Hahn
