Take it to a professional shop that can pressure bleed the system.
Master cylinders should last many years.
They are a fast moving inventory item and I doubt that you could possibly
have gotten two bad units. (unless they came from Pep Boys , Chief Auto
Parts or one of the known to sell those high quality made in China
parts.)
