Soft and Fading Brakes - Adjust or Replace? (1 Viewer)

longest line first. I think it is drivers rear, then passenger rear, then drivers front, passengers front.

I did it all correctly except for the brake load proportioning valve and having the bottom of the tube in some fluid, I had it dripping into a jug. That mistake may have actually benefitted me though, as the old fluid was terribly dirty and I wouldn't want to suck a bunch of crap back into the system. Since I already have the master on the way, I think I'll replace it as an abundance of caution, I'm sure its pretty worm anyway.

Have you checked the master cylinder push rod, to make sure the clearance is within spec? I'm not sure about the 60, but on a 62 I believe the specified clearance is 0mm.

@PVCsnorkel I have the tool required for what @diesellibrarian is talking about if you wanna borrow it.

@diesellibrarian I have not, are they prone to falling out of adjustment? I was under the impression that they only need to be set when changing the booster or master?

@CruiserTrash Yes Please! I screwed up the brakes real bad on my old F150 cause the rod was out of adjustment real bad.
