Message I give up; Clutch bleed or other issue..

Background;
1. approx 6-7 months ago installed new clutch, TO bearing, and slave, etc. All is good
2. last week while at stop sign and go wouldnt engage clutch

Items checked / done
A. adjusted clutch in drivers footwell
B. flushed with new Super Blue fluid, bled and bled and bled. Since no helpers I (same way did in the past) got a long board and moved drivers seat up so the seat pushed the board which then pushed the clutch pedal all the way in. Get under car, open bleed valve. Rinse and repeat literally 25+ times.
C. got good tested master cylinder, repeated B above

Still nada. Looking under the car the slave is simply not pushing the rod out far enough. Pulling hair out on this.. At point of (time constraints, etc.) to schedule to take to Alamo Motorsports in Arlington. Yes, I know of some who have had bad luck there BUT seeing as this is a pretty simple job as compared to new turbos, etc., etc. should be OK...

Gonna have to have it towed so being close is a big plus...
