Default Changing Master cylinder and booster?

Is there a special way of bleeding it when I install it? and is ok to use used parts? I've looked for info on this and its pretty vague, I have front and rear disc breaks from a gsr a 4040 proportioning valve froma 91 rs and now I have the booster and master cylinder from a 95gsr, but I just don't no if there is a specail way of installing these 2 things (booster, master cylinder) thanks.



I forgot to mention this is on a 92 civic dx.

Just bleed it all the way so there is no more brake fluid on the MC. Used OEM Honda parts should be fine to use. If your MC/Booster is from an ABS equipped GSR, you will have to flare one of the lines that goes into your MC. I'll be tackling this project soon but I have a 15/16 MC from an RS teg.

yea bench bleed the master 1st or else youll be bleeding your brakes forever. if you dont know how to bench bleed, its really easy. get a kit from the auto parts store (proly 10 bux), just run the lines back into the MC resivoir, and bleed it untill no more air bubbles come out of the lines. then slap it on and do a minor brake bleed and your set

can anyone help me, i swapped the front and rear brakes, MC and booster, from a 95 Integra LS w/ ABS into my 92 si w/o ABS.

After bleeding a lot of times, still there isn't much pressure for my brakes. Help please.
