I just replaced the master cylinder and my brakes still feel squishy. How do I bleed the brakes so my car can stop?

You probably have air in the ABS unit. You can try a power bleeder otherwise a mechanic will need to hook his scanner up to bleed the system so he can open valves on ABS to bleed it.

Did you bench bleed the master cylinder before installing it? Why did you replace it? Does it have ABS?
