I already have both the Haynes and Bently manuals. The brake system has already been pressure bled, gravity bled, and vacuum bled and still no hard pedal.
Between myself and the shop, we have installed three master cylinders and still no hard pedal. Something else has to be wrong somewhere in the system.

I don't think the guys at the repair shop are crooks. I've used them before for other repairs (motor mounts, etc...) and had no problems. The second rebuilt MC that they replaced with a brand new one could very well be defective. My objection is that they sent the car back out without really fixing it the way it should be fixed. I did not know how low the pedal was until we left the shop and I did not expect it to be almost on the floor like it is. I could take it back to them, but they will only charge me more money to do things that I can probably handle myself without the high labor costs.
