The brakes on my little bros car are screwd up. The master went ba so I changed it so now after about 15-20 minutes of city driving the front brakes start to lock up.

You can feel the peal gradually satart to get stiff then they lock. I havce searche and seemed to get a common answer of misadjusted brake pushrod.

So I searche for adjusting pushrod and found nothing anyone have a wite up on this?

Any other insite is welcome give me some iddeas

 

Get your head under the brake pedal feet up in the air & pull the cotter pin on the pushrod/brake pedal. Loosen the star locknut & turn counter clockwise I believe. Their is a honda tool, I have, to set up the booster & master cylinder with the proper gap. Without it your left with trial & error. I burned out a set of rotors & melted tie rods after a replacement & one lap on track. The adjustment is going to really frustrate you but take your time. The pedal height needs to be adjusted last by turning the bracket & then tightening the nut. Adjusting the pusrod is very sensitive, one whole turn is a lot. My random guess is you are two-three turns off.

 

and this would cause his syptoms? We baoght the car and it sat for awhile b4 we got. It started after I replaced the mc with a reman

 

i got the crx shop manual i coring it b y and let u take a look it.it shows how to do that

 

If the pusrod is not adjusted it will not let the fluid back into the mastercylinder. Every time you press the brake more pressure builds up. At least the manual will show you the direction for adjustment. The problem your going to have is they describe how to adjust with the tool bolted to the booster. I assume you don't have the tool.

 

No I ont have the tool and its my little bros car so I was hoping that there is a diy or and thread with pixs
