Default Bleeding CMC

So I replaced my CMC, slave, clutch and flywheel and when I go to gravity bleed it, nothing happens. The fluid stays in the reservoir and goes no where. I've tried pumping the clutch but nothing. Is there anything in doing wrong?

I got it working. I had to tighten everything up, then loosen up the hard line going to the master cylinder. I then had my wife slowly press the clutch down, while I simultaneously open the line a little to let the bubbles escape. Then I would crack the slave bleeder and repeat. Once I got a good flow from the slave, I only would bleed the slave.

I have yet to do it on a 370, but I know on the 300ZX and the ranger I had with a similar CSC the only way to do it was with a vacuum bleeder or a pressure bleeder. I think I paid 30 or 40 bucks for my vacuum bleeder and just keeping the amount of clean up down was worth the money.
