I'm experiencing a gradual loss of brake pedal pressure when I've got my
foot on the brake.  I can recover pressure by taking my foot off the pedal
and reapplying it, howver, the same thing happens.  Its rather disconcerting
sitting at a set of traffic lights and finding that as the pedal goes to the
floor my TR starts to move forward.

I've checked for fluid leaks and have found none.  The problem appears to be
a leak in the brake booster.  I've noticed that the connector which takes
the manifold vacuum hose is loose and can be rotated (without the vacuum
hose attached).  Therefore I need to pull the booster out and retighten this
connector.  Is this operation easy to execute?  Can I do it without removing
the brake lines from the brake reservoir unit?

Regards
John
