Brake Booster Trouble

Share this page

If its wet inside, its time to rebuild! Where's the brake fluid coming from?
 
Tony,
The fluid is from the old MC that I replaced a few weeks ago. The new one hasn't lost a drop since I filled it.

I was considering rebuilding the old one but for now I've got an SU conversion that I'm working on /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif I'm just going to hang on to that old one as a reserve, I guess?
 
May as well hone the old one out soon: if it's got pits in the bore it's scrap (unless you want to spend $$ on a stainless sleeve job) not worth shelf space. If it's good, rebuild it and stow it.
 
Ah, if you've soled the fluid problem, good...when you open that MC, be real careful not to break the plastic piece.
