    Brake problem

    Hi all,
    I own a 92 LX. I'm having a brake problem. The brake can be firm a time and soft the next. All pads are new. I have bleed the lines too. Don't see any leak. Already on steel brake lines. I'm running out of ideas. Any suggestion(other than ROH and drum to disc conversion)? thanks.

        Not trying to be a dick...What do you mean firm and soft?
        By firm do you mean that the pedal is very hard to push down,almost no movement?
        By soft do you mean normal soft or sinking to the floor?

              probably a good idea, since the part is not that expensive. Is it hard to take it off?

                    How Do U Check If The Brake Booster Is Good Or Bad?

                      Normally you would take it off and look to see if there is a larger quantity of fluid behind it (where the rod enters) Or if you can see wetness behind the MS(where it bolts to the Booster)

                      The "technical" way is to press the pedal and record the rate at what the pedal falls to the floor.

                        that will be good or bad?

                          Well its usually self explanitory, fluid not going to your brakes is going somewhere else...

                            The master cylinder usually leaks internally. The fluid seeps past the seal. This usually happens most in hot weather, or when you've been braking hard. Replace the master cylinder, and your problem should be fixed.

                              Exactly. I had a master cylinder go out in my Acura Legend and visually it looked fine until I pulled it off and took it apart.
