Yes, the B-R-A-K-E-S might need bleeding, air in the system would cause that sponginess. Get a Hayne's, full instructions there.

Yeah its possible, with a small piece of hosing and a jar of some sort......put around 2 or 3 inches of brake fluid in the jar before you start bleeding them...........when you start bleeding the brakes, make sure the jar is around 12inches above the bleed screw, just a preventive measure to stop any air going back in the system.
