2004 Lincoln Town Car

Bought an old Lincoln. Are the brakes back then much hard to push or is my master cylinder possibly going?

Should not be difficult to activate the brakes. They might not work all that well, but it's easy to work them.

Figured a double-post requires a double-reply ...

My memories of driving bigger american cars of that time are that the brake pedals were always too sensitive/touchy. Hardly any effort at all needed.
