I've bled my brakes a number of times and they are still spongy. This started after I swapped to disks in the front. Any suggestions?
What do they mean when they say "bleed the master cylinder". I didn't do whatever this is. Is this a source of my problem?

Bench bleeding is when you take the Master cylinder and put it in a vise and take the cover off and put some brake fluid in it and you put some fittings and rubber hose in the outlets and loopit back in to the resevoir and pump the master cylinder until all the air is out. You'll have to use a large screwdriver or something to pump the master cylinder.
