Title: Leaky brake booster
Post by: fc_clint_nz on July 05, 2009, 08:59:18 AM
Hello all,

I have a torana booster in the fc van and when i put my foot on the brake it makes a hissing sound down by the peddle i assume it has a leak but have no idea how to fix it. Is there a kit for this or should i just send it to the shop and be done with it. I would like to try and fix it myself any help would be appreciated. Any idea on cost to fix this sort of thing. Cheers Clint.

You can buy an overhaul kit for the booster and not that hard to fit Clint.  "Most" major brake specialists should have them in stock, if you cant find one let me know, should have one in stock that i can send you ;)

Cheers Ben

There are a couple of different listings mate so it depends what booster your running for which kit will fit ;)
