Hey guys,

My poor wagon needs help. I recently installed front integra brakes. After installation, the brakes were bled in correct order on all four corners. Before pedal feel was like a normal EF, semi sloppy but stopped car. Now the pedal is stiff as hell and requires lots of force to push down. Im not so much worried about the stiff pedal as the fact that the car wont stop. You can hear the calipers grabbig the disc but sounds like it is barely grabbing. Is it master cylinder, booster, caliper, or something stupid? No fluid loss and not over filled. Searched google and here but cant find answer. I have a long drive ahead of me in a couple days and want to get there safe. Please help me out TR.

Thanks,
Mike

 

Bleed em again

 

Is the vacuum line to the booster hooked up? This line should run from the intake manifold to the brake booster itself and should have an inline check valve. Make sure that's intact. Was this a working unit before you bought it?

 

i would try bleeding them again. and as stated above check the check valve in the vaccum line going to the booster.

 

going to bleed again. These were working when I put them on. As for check valve I will check it and probably replace it just to make sure. Thanks guys, I was loss on this one. Let ya know what happens.

 

Break booster is bad...


happend on my old 88 civic... feels like you have to put all your might into making it stop??

 

Exactly what it feels like!
