Make sure a qualified tech looks them over for you.

Your pedal should drop an 1" or two before you get them to work.

Some like a hard pedal, some "soft".

Make sure you don't have air in the lines anywhere.
Some cars have the longest LR line first then a sequence to follow to the shortest.
Some have other ways.

A power or pressure bleeder should help you.

Ask some of you buddies if they can get one.

Don't screw up the MC by doing hundreds of pedal pumps, get some help.
