New hydraulic tensioner won't pump up

I've got 2 brand new hydraulic tensioners that I cannot get them to firm up. I've exercised them until they sucked in oil and pressurized them with air until they squirted oil out the little pressure relief valve but I can still compress them with my bare hands.

I'll ask the client where he got them but it's been a few months so we may be out of luck returning them.

Does anyone know of any tricks for making them work?

-Chris
