Sachs shock bleeding

Hi
I went from gas gas to Beta but I hope I can still get some answers here :-)
I'm servicing the Sachs shock (what a pita)...
I got everything back together and followed manual to fill with oil (fill reservoir, push floating piston all the way to bottom, fill body, work shaft up/down to bleed air out...) when I push the shaft down into body, it just stays sucked in there and I can't pull it back up and can't figure out where this 'vacuum' is coming from? Tried few times (always had to drain oil from body to be able to take shaft/valving out) same every time.
It's first time doing this shock so I'm hoping I'm just an idiot and missing something simple :)

I'll take clevis off again today and double check everything. . We'll see.
