Hi - That's where I am going with this....how do i check the master cylinder and booster?

Hi, Driving home tonight in stop and go just after 15 miles of freeway driving, my 95 legacy wagon (manual trans- almost 200k) just stopped rolling. I urged it to the side and sat for a while. I eventually "fixed" the situation by stomping on the brake a few times. The car rolled freely again, except for one more time, and this I corrected with a tap. At home I felt the rotors- both fronts were pretty hot compared to the rears. The questions arise- are both calipers seized? Can I replace them myself in my driveway, do I need a special tool? I have replaced honda brakes in the 80's. Is there a good online source for the procedure? Thanks for your help. Josh

That's what I was thinking... What is a good source for procedures? Thanks- Josh
