So I've been noticing a lot of peoples brakes have been sucking. I recently replaced my master cylinder with no luck. I ran on non-power brakes for awhile until i decided to fix mine.
Its a pretty simple process, but somethings are really annoying with it.
First start off my disconnecting your brake lines from your master cylinder and removing it from your firewall/power brake booster. Also remove the one vacuum line from the booster
here is the MC removed. be sure to keep it in a safe place and i kept mine topped off with fluid so I wouldn't have to bench bleed it again.
After you have that removed, its time to get under the dash
Start off by moving the black plastic piece that goes over your steering column. It makes things a lot easier.
Here is a picture of the most annoying pin in the world! Mine had been messed with before so yours might be a little easier to handle. I ended up making a new one! haha
After you have the pin out, pop the pin out holding the brake pedal to the brake booster and set it in a safe place.
Next you need to unbolt the 4 nuts holding the power brake booster on.
After that, you can wiggle that booster out and put your new one on it reverse order of removal.
REMEMBER TO BLEED YOUR BRAKES! Since you've disconnected your brake lines and you've probably sucked air into them.

nice...so if I wanted to upgrade to 94-01 integra dc2 brakes this would be the same process right?
