60 Series Newb (1 Viewer)

Hello Everyone!

Just picked up a 1983 60 series and have had a 1994 80 series for around a year. The 80 series was my parents I grew up driving. Starting to dive into both vehicles and get my feet wet with the mechanics.

Just did the Booster this weekend in the 60 and later realized the pushrod was too long when my brakes started to lock. Will take that apart this week and readjust. I don’t have the tool. Any guidance from anyone on adjustment without the tool? I’ll look around the forum as well for other posts that hopefully are out there.

Looking forward to this community!

I couldn’t find my tool after a move.
Replaced my booster and used some cut out insulation and a cut down tube from a WD40 can.
Worked perfectly!
