UPDATE: 86 LXi brake problem
ok guys.
here's the update
so far i have changed the followong
brake booster
master cylinder
softlines
calipers
brake pads
well, here's the problem.
the first 10 minutes of driving, everything went smooth. the car ran super fine.
after i let idle for about 5 minutes, i tested it again. only this time, the brake is on again. it did not lock yet, but i can feel it. i know after sometime it is only gonna get worse.
can it be the booster?
because my mechanic installed the booster, and as soon as his installed it, this problem occured. after replacing the master cylinder 3 times, he told me that if the brakes is on again, i have to get a wrench size 10, and loosen one of the bolt in master cylinder again, and it should be ok. i was like WTF? oh well........i'm lost guys
please HELP me........
thanks

The brake pedal push rod is too tight against the back of the booster diaphram.
Honda has a special jig you are supposed to attach to the booster to set the correct depth. You can get under the dash and back off the tension about 1/2 turn and try it, then repeat the process till you have good pedal without brakes dragging.
