Re: How to get brake pedal out of 89 Mustang
We have a Raybestos stock replacement master cylinder on our that i think is meant for a SVO mustang of an earlier year. We bought the Steada manual conversion mount to eliminate the power unit and made no modifications to brake pedal ratio. Car holds to over 3000 RPM if you really want to push on it but we 2 step it to around 2500-2600 no issues.. This car also had had both stock front and rear brakes and now has aerospace disc on all 4 wheels and we've changed nothing in the master cylinder setup. might be cheaper and easier to look into a different master cylinder if aerospace is telling you that you need to have a certain ratio to make it work properly..

Re: How to get brake pedal out of 89 Mustang
You do need to change the ratio with aero space master Cylinder. It is hard to get out like hand over fist said. Once it is out you drill the pedal for a new bolt that changes the ratio. I have 4 wheel disc from aero space on my 1988 and can get 1900 plus psi pressure. I did put a line lock on each front wheel. I can hold 3000 rpm pretty easily

Re: How to get brake pedal out of 89 Mustang
Having done something similar on a 68 coupe, I offer my sympathies. I removed the seat and steering column to reach the sucker.

Re: How to get brake pedal out of 89 Mustang
I don`t know if the earlier FOX Mustangs like my 85 are different, but I find it easier to just remove the entire brake/clutch pedal bracket out as an assembly than removing the brake pedal alone. You need to drop the steering column down, but with those 2 nuts removed, and 4 nuts securing the bracket to the power brake booster, or manual brake adapter mount, plus i screw at the dash frame, and it comes out in about 1/2 hour. On my 85, I used an actual manual brake pedal, adapter and master cylinder for a 79-82 Mustang from the local wrecking yard. On my cars, there are 2 different brake pedal pivot positions, 1 for manual, one for power brakes. By 89, I assume power brakes were standard, so your bracket may only have the 1 hole.

Re: How to get brake pedal out of 89 Mustang
A line lock on each front wheel sounds like a major invitation for disaster. Rethink this please. It might have been easier to install, but a problem with one makes the turn, and there is nothing you can do about it.

Re: How to get brake pedal out of 89 Mustang
remove the drivers seat, then the dash assy complete. easiest way I have found when I did mine.
