I don't think updating the CSS in your epubs en-masse is as simple as this.

For instance if you put

Code:

h1 {text-align:center;}

in ExtraCSS but the HTML in your epub is something like

Code:

<h1 class="mystyle">Chapter One</h1>

and existing CSS in the epub something like

Code:

.mystyle {text-align:left}

then your ExtraCSS won't override what's already in the epub.

You would need to be more specific in ExtraCSS e.g.

Code:

h1.mystyle {text-align:center}
