Ok, after adding the 4-pistons calipers from a GXL, I was told I need the check valve on the MC. Do I also need the GXL booster? I have one available to purchase, but I'm not sure if I need it.
So, what exactly do I need? |
I would use the ENTIRE brakebooster,mastercylinder assembly from a GXL
|
If I am upgrading my GTu from single piston to four piston calipers, I should change out the booster and MC also?
|
yes
|
Got any extras laying around?
|
Unfortunately , no. I need the last set I have for the Base upgrade
|

thanks for the info, banzai. Does anyone know what kind of price these things should run? I know a guy with the parts, just making sure he doesn't overcharge me.
also, any idea what level of difficulty swapping these would be? |
The master cylinder is no biggy. With the proper tools and a pressure bleeder you're done in under an hour. I've never swapped a brake booster, but that should not be hard as well, since you alreay will have the MC off.
I bought a new master cylinder for $70 shipped from www.nopionline.com It is brand new in the box, made by Tokico. Even has the MAZDA part number on the box. |
cool, I'll offer him no more than $50 for both parts (used)
I looked over the removal of both items during breakfast this morning (in Haynes manual). The seem pretty simple, like remove brake lines from MC, remove 2 bolts, it comes off. Booster is like a tube, and 4 bolts under dash. I may be off a tad, but it doesn't seem difficult at all. |
