Verbal Killa Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Ok im having problems with my breaks. Like When i hit the break. if u keep ur foot on it. the breaks starts goin down lower an LOWER till it hits the floor. an it wasnt that it was gettin too much air. they already checked it. they told me that there certain its the Break Booster or Break Master Cylinder. so like the only way too stop the car mainly is by pumpin the break once it hits down too far. wich isnt safe too drive. before the problem happened i was going about 60mph an i seen a DIP an when i hit the breaks the car didnt even bother too stop A LITTLE so i hit hard an ever since that i havent drove it anymore so im wondering do u guys think that can be it? has anyone ever had this problem? any help please an is the job hard too do? by the way i have a Honda Civic dx 1994 ls thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kastigir Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 It's not extremely hard, not extremely easy either. Most important thing is to make sure you bleed the entire brake system afterwards. Pick up a Haynes/Chilton manual beforehand if you're planning on attempting it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verbal Killa Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 ^Around how much would they charge around shops too do this. with me buying the master cylinder? An is there any certain type of master cylinder that is good quality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastigir Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 *Most* of shops won't replace with parts you bought. The best parts are always going to be OEM, due to price considerations many people choose to use Autozone and the like. It is ultimately your call though. Call around and see is the best advice I can give you if you don't want to tackle the job yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forcefed Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Thats if the wheel cylinders in the rear aren't leaking, or you have a leak somewhere else. If you need a brake master cylnder you most likely need a booster too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
