BRakes went out!!
So i was driving and my brake pedal just pushed to the floor and i had no brakes . I bought a new master cylinder and power brake booster im gonna replace both because they're pretty inexpensive and i don't wanna was my time replacing one and have the other one be bad. Has anyone else had any experience with this ?? is there any guides on the replacement of these parts ive looked around on the web and havent found anything

It was the booster the first thing I check was for fluid leaking and nothing was leaking .. I replaced the master because I had it off and it was only 60 bucks .. When it happened the pedal went straight to the floor so is it was a wheel cylinder you would be able to pump and get some of your brakes back mine had nothing at all

It went well it's really simple it took me about 30 mins didn't have to bleed the system I just in hooked the master cylinder and there's 4 bolts on the firewall inside then the pedal has a clip .. I bolted the new one and it was good to go ! Really easy !! I just got a autozone one nothing special I don't think it's a part that is significant enough to spend extra cash on getting something special I would say it would be good to do every 100k or 10 yrs of you wanted to be consistent about it .. But I've had cars with over 300k and 20yrs old and never had to replace it before

Don't really think that would be an issue. Brake pressure is a variable number and is at maximum when you lock your brakes up (max force produced to stop wheel movement 100%). Brake lines are made to withstand high PSI and it's not like they'll be getting any new treatment with the brake booster really...
