Thinking I need to get on replacing my master cylinder for pedal fade.

1) Any bolt-on upgrades with the stock booster? My impression is that we already have one of the largest MC's

2) Any suggestions on where to purchase? Seems most of the Advanced Auto's are the stock Nissin's any other locations to buy from?

3) Couldn't find any tutorials for the replacement - straight forward? Drain fluid, unbolt, bench bleed, bolt back up?

 

The OEM brake master cylinder is fine. If Advanced Auto have it, I would get it there. Full retail at Honda is about $150. So even if you order via Tas Auto or Majestic Honda, with shipping the difference wouldn't be too great.

It is pretty straight forward for replacement, use flare nut wrenches (aka line wrenches) to avoid rounding off the brake line nuts.

 

Bench Bleed it before yoi install it.
The only other thing I'd suggest is have the brake system power flushed once you've got the new M/C installed.
The same condition which caused your Master Cylinder to fail still exists in the old brake fluid - super saturation.
Brake fluid absorbs water over the course of time. Once it absorbs enough; it starts rusting (corroding) things, ruining cylinder bores, calipers and rear brake cylinders (if so equipped).

For others:

EX - 1" MC
LX/DX - 15/16" MC

I'm looking into other differences as well
