Just drain the braking system and relieve all pressure take the lines off the master cylinder and detach the master from the booster by removing the 2 mounting nuts. Check the pushrod seal for damage of places it has been leaking r&r as neccessary. Then install the 1 master in place pushrod may need adjustment though and that is a long explanation I cant get into now but it is pretty straight forward......

I all ready now how to do the brake swap i did it myself and i just read in super street that in order to complete it cause i wasnt getting that much greater brake. I had to swith the cylinder to a larger size 1 . SO ! i was wanting to know what all i had to do. simple as that . Cause i know when taking the cylinder out all air gets inside and what the best way to bleed all 4 at the same timejust front to back ? I didnt know that you had to replace the cylinder to a larger size till now i thought that the reason i wasnt getting more outta of it was cause i just need to adj. the pedal. forget why does the fuxing state have so many assholes in here. All you have to do is answer my question if you want. quit being such dick about and telling me to search else were thats what this site is for. Iam getting alot of help here from others thats why i ask so many questions. There nothing wrong with that.

Calm down. This question has been asked all over the net and most people here are just tired of seeing it.
But let me clear up a few things that trouble me about your post.
1) DO NOT adjust your brake pedal for better braking. You will end up driving around with the brakes partially engaged. The pedal MUST have a certain amount of free play in it before engagement.
2) You do not bleed the brake system all four at one time...as on any car you do one at a time. Since you did the install yourself and obviously are unfamiliar with bleeding the system Id be willing to bet you have quite a fair amount of air in the system. This is one reason you probably dont have that great of a pedal feel
3) If you install the MC on your stock booster youll have to take out about a 1/4 of length from the pushrod by adjusting it.
