Nissin Rear Master Cylinder "11" BE660002509

So I need some help here. Right now my rear brakes are completely nonfunctional. I was bleeding the lines to remove air bubbles by depressing the foot lever a few times and cracking open the bleed screw, quickly shutting it and repeating the process. Things were going well when all of a sudden I lost all resistance in the foot lever and now when I depress the lever very little brake fluid is being pushed through the lines even with a wide open bleed screw. There's no external leaking that I can see. Do you think I broke the master cylinder? Or does this sound like it can be repaired with a rebuild kit. If it is a simple rebuild which kits will work for this master cylinder? I can't seem to find much information on a nissin-specific kit. Any advice?
Trying not to assume anything, are you holding the pedal down to maintain pressure when you are cracking open the bleeder? Then closing the bleeder before you release the pedal?
