Thread: 84 RR Brake booster

Hey guys,

Need some advice on my brake booster. 84 Rangie brakes have been a bit "weird' for awhile now so decided to check it out.

Basically this is the sitch. Master cylinder is shagged and has been leaking fluid into the booster. I just pulled it all out and tipped about 500ml of fluid out of the booster!!

Anyway the seal on the front of the booster (behind the flange of the master cyl) is quite worn, as well as the push rod for the master cylinder is rusty.

What I need advice on is what do I do with the booster. Can they be reconditioned or am I looking at a new one?

Do I just get a new seal? Just slap it back in, it's only the PIG, she'll be right. Seeing's how the booster has had brake fluid slopping around inside for god knows how long is it possible other internals are stuffed.

I have lost booster assistance recently and it's quite scary when your burlin down the road, go to use the brakes, and almost pull the steering wheel off 'cause your pressing on the bloody brake pedal so hard!!

Any and all advice is appreciated, as always.

Get the master sleeved, you will fall over when you get the new price ! mine cost $70.
