Really? Still with the brakes.
Posted: Fri May 18, 2012 9:34 am
Well, i have changed everything but the booster, rear hose, and metal lines. Front brakes were still building too much pressure. When checking and re-checking everything,i re-measured the brake booster push-rod that goes to the master cylinder with a digital caliper (unavailable to me before) and found it to be out too much (+1.00"). My repair manual says it shouldn't be more than .995" from the master cylinder mounting surface.
After adjusting the push-rod in properly and test driving, the brake pedal has a ton of travel before I get any braking action. There is no more pressure build up... finally. Call me crazy I get a little nervous when i go to hit the brakes and they go half-way to the floor before starting to slow me down.
So the question I have is... did having the push-rod out too far damage my brand new master cylinder thus causing my problem?
Any help greatly appreciated
