Brake trouble, anybody else rebuilt the front brake Master cylinder

I started having Hondamush on the front brake about two weeks ago and ordred new guts for the front master, it was leaking just a little. The old seals were bad when I removed them, and I cleaned the thing carefully and there was no corrosion so I put the new guts in the master cyl.( factory kit) and I cannot get it to bleed at all. I have removed the line and bleed the MC alone but it still will not pump up to bleed at the wheel. any suggestions, Did the dealer get me the wrong kit do you think? I measured the parts and all the lengths and diameters seem the same as the one I removed.

Don't know if it'll help you, but here is my story:

The master cylinder was eventually changed with a new one.

I broke down

and bought a vacuum bleeder and that did the trick, finally after sucking half a quart of fluid through the system! I have never met a brake system that would not bleed at all before. These are a bugger.
