Title: HR Brake Booster
Post by: Effie C on January 22, 2003, 10:07:16 AM
G'Day
I picked up a HR brake booster today (thanks Chris), does anyone have an exploded diagram of these things as I wish to pull it apart to rebuild it. I have heard somewhere that they have a bloody big spring in the diaphram side and don't really want to wear it when I take the clamp off.
So if anyone can help, please post on site or e-mail to me.
Thanks
John M

Hi John
I use a hydraulic press to take them apart. Sorry i can't help you with a diagram, but i'm sure if you can get hold of a genuine HR workshop manual it would show the exploded diagram.
Regards ACE :D

John,

you and I should get together sometime (except for 3000 Km between us)....

I'll have a look for the diagram you need in my HR manual ;)

Yes unfortunately they do differ, HR held together with bolts PBR with a clamp band, if possible could you send me the diagrams you have as well.
Thanks

John,

I was aiming for my FC on the road by Easter and drive over this time.....but alas, my little brother pulled a wedding in Adelaide earlier this month, so I had to drive over in the F**d (AU F**rmont) instead....

I know, I know....no comparison with driving the FC over, but I haven't driven across the Nullarbor since I was....well, never mind, about 30 odd years ago, so it was good to do it again.  At least I know now what the FC would be up against....so 2005 Nationals, here I come......it's not too far away now!!

I have joined the Vic club and hope to catch up with them on the odd occasion when I'm over in Melb for work etc....but in the meantime, "Ain't this forum GREAT!!"

cheers, Brad
