i just finished swaping in my motor and i went to drive my car and found out my brake pedal takes alot of pressure to push down? its a really stiff pedal and was never like this. now could this be because i used an ABS axle for the passenger side during the swap? or is this totally something else? let me know asap what u guys think, ive researched it and found nothing. thanks for your time

 

Try swapping it out for a non-ABS one, I don't have a definate answer, but theres a starting point

Bump for WA drivers

 

Axle wouldnt do it.
Maybe you bent/crushed a hardline doing the swap

Did you hook the vacuum line to the brake booster back back up? Did you use the original hose?

 

axles definately not the problem, I have abs axles in my non abs civic with no issues, like stated above check to make sure you didn't bend a hardline, and also make sure you hooked the vaccum back up

 

thanks guys for your help, i found out my friend hooked up the brake booster vacuum line up backwards, the arrow on the little plastic part was facing the wrong way. thanks for your guys help
