Might be in backwards or just jammed shut. Yep. Two of them. Like original. Even a week later, theres still vacuum if I pull the line off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still worth testing it's working properly or swapping out. OP, have you tested the booster with a vacuum pump to check it can hold a solid vacuum (not just a "by ear" or "feel" test)? Yes. One of the first things I did was test the vacuum to make sure it had what the manual says was the minimum. It had more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEROPILOT Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 The car is still in the air. Wheels off. I've replaced my ceramic pads with organics. Ceramics being super hard. And replaced my rear shoes again. They got soaked with brake fluid while I was blowing out and flushing, bleeding the system. I had my brother help me to "old school" two man bleed the system. Each bleeder when opened made the pedal drop to the floor. Now there is once again good pedal feel. I'll put it back on the road soon and see if it's any different.
