| Mine has died, loud air rushing noise and brake pedal is hard to push. Is removing the lines from the master cylinder required? |
| Look for fluid in the booster unit when you remove the master.......yes generally remove the lines from the master.. remove the vacuum line from the booster....inspect the 1 way valve....remove the master...remove the nuts or bolts for the booster they will be on the inside under the dash attached to the fire wall..remove the linkage from the brake pedal to the booster .bench bleed the master before installing...then bleed the brakes at the calipers...the job will be less messy if you vaccum all the fluid out of the system from each caliper before you start ... |

Looking at the prices i may just spend the extra 30 bucks for one with a new master attached. The old one is 24 years old. |

Make sure that you can crack all the bleeder valves before you start and bench bleeding might work faster. |
