[Healeys] Brake Booster

[BJ8Healeys]

Hi, Paul -

In my opinion, the hardest thing about rebuilding the booster is getting it
in and out of the car.  I think I spent a couple days on rebuilding mine.
The dry film lube is needed for the inside of the canister. I used an
air-dry spray product from Sandstrom:

Hi all,

 

The Brakes on my BJ8 have become rock hard and I suspect the Brake
Booster..I"ll test it tomorrow for vacumn.

 

In the meantime, how difficult is the rebuild and how long should I budget
the car to be off the road for?

 

I also seam to recall a discussion a couple of years ago regarding a dry
lubrication that was necessary???

 

Any tips appreciated.

 

Thanks

Paul
