If you can pump the brake pedal and it firms up and then while holding pressure on it the pedal slowly goes to the floor the master cylinder is bad. It may be worn to the point that it will not build any pressure. If you pump it and it holds then it is probably air in the line. Very hard brake pedal is usually the vacuum booster.

How do you know if clutch master cylinder needs bleeding?

You may need to bleed the clutch master cylinder if you experience a spongy or soft clutch pedal, difficulty engaging or disengaging gears, or if the pedal sinks to the floor without resistance. Additionally, if there are visible leaks around the master cylinder or slave cylinder, or if you notice a low fluid level in the reservoir, these can be signs that air has entered the system and bleeding is necessary. Regularly checking the fluid level and maintaining the system can prevent such issues.
