Re: Brake Booster clean out

You might check the booster's integrity while you are at it.  With the
one-way valve in, check to make sure you have an air tight chamber.  Brake
fluid, gas can be very corrosive if it sit at the bottom of the booster over
time.

If your booster was working oK before the tear down, you are probably OK,
but worth a check.

Subject: Brake Booster clean out


> I've got the pedal box out of my '74 GTV to replace the clutch pivot and
replace the brake master cylinder.  Due to the failing master cylinder, the
brake booster was full of brake fluid.  Otherwise the booster seems to be
okay.  Anyone have any recommendations on how to clean the brake fluid out
of the booster?  I drained what I could, but I'm not sure if I need to clean
the rest out with brake cleaner or something else?  Perhaps I should just
leave the residue if it won't hurt the booster rubber? Erik Wood
