1. brake booster test (score: 1): Author: "Freese, Ken" <Ken.Freese@Aerojet.com>; Date: Thu, 6 May 2004 10:20:57 -0700; Anyone know of an off the car test to check if a booster has been rebuilt properly? I could hook it up to the car engine as a vacuum source or a Mityvac, but what about the fluid side? Ken Freese 65; /html/healeys/2004-05/msg00149.html (7,167 bytes)

My gut tells me no. Most problems with re-built Girling boosters seem to centre around not getting the vaccuum pis; /html/healeys/2004-05/msg00275.html (8,677 bytes)
4. Re: brake booster test (score: 1): Author: "tom felts" <tomfelts@earthlink.net>; Date: Tue, 11 May 2004 07:28:52 -0400; FWIW, I drove my BJ8 for 21 years with un-boostered brakes. Other than having to push the pedal harder it isn't so bad. But--time marches on and in 2001 I added a booster. I will admit to liking the; /html/healeys/2004-05/msg00281.html (9,791 bytes)

RE: brake booster test (score: 1): Author: "Freese, Ken" <Ken.Freese@Aerojet.com>; Date: Tue, 11 May 2004 08:37:50 -0700; Thanks, Earl, I guess I will hook up the unit to engine vacuum and cycle it a bunch of times manually. Assuming I can figure out how to do that. Ken Ken: I take it that no-one responded to your first; /html/healeys/2004-05/msg00287.html (9,045 bytes)

Re: brake booster test (score: 1): Author: "Bob Spidell" <bspidell@pacbell.net>; Date: Tue, 11 May 2004 09:27:38 -0700; In its "normal" state the vacuum/air valve (I think) will apply vacuum to both sides of the vacuum piston. The only way to "cycle" the vacuum would be to remove the cover on the vacuum/air valve (on; /html/healeys/2004-05/msg00289.html (8,323 bytes)

Re: brake booster test (score: 1): Author: Earl Kagna <kags@shaw.ca>; Date: Tue, 11 May 2004 10:48:04 -0700; I agree with Bob - the air valves are activated by the movement of the brake fluid itself, which in turn activate the vaccuum piston. It's been my experience that the whole deal tends to be pretty d; /html/healeys/2004-05/msg00291.html (8,848 bytes)
