You know about the heavy spring so be careful. Next there is a black plastic part in the aluminum valve; do not pry on it, grab it with pliers, or use any metal tools on it, it can and will break ve

If you are loosing fluid it is probably that the lower bore of the valve body on your booster is gaulled and fluid is going by into the booster can. Phil, If your is sticking, it is either the upper

While we are on the subject of the booster here is a problem to ponder. I have lost fluid the last 2 winters in storage. No leaks around the brakes, nothing on the garage floor, etc. I remove the car

Please check out my web site (www.rootesgroupdepot.com) and read the booster page. They don't hang up when I am done and the cars brakes were designed to be assisted. Bill

I've heard of cases where the booster sticks "ON" because (IIRC) the shaft from the vacuum powered piston isn't aligned properly. Give the booster a whack and see if that helps. If it does, you may h
