Maybe try that, but if your getting fluid to your lines, its a good sign. I'v had two sep times not get fluid fully to lines and I took MC off and bench bled, solved problem both times. No leaks is good, Im sure its just a bleeding issue.
I have one more way of bleeding to try then the master is coming out like you said. I have done lots of brake changes on my Jeep over the years never had this much trouble.

If my next few attempts fail I will try your way when I get the motor started again.
Thanks guys I will win!!
