brake booster help!?
i have a 95 f150 and my brake booster is leaking
there is a leak behind my dash leading to the brake booster and the shop said the brake booster is bad itself as well

if so have u replaced it urself and how hard was it
the shop wants like $700 but the part is only $300
im tryin to save money and do it myself
any help is appreciated

un hook your 2 brake lines then go under the dash remove the clip that hooks the push rod to the brake pedal and then the 4 nuts under the dash that hold it up and it comes right out prolly 10 minutes max. to do it.
check your parts place i bought a new one for my 95 and went with a 1ton unit and it was like 150 for the new master and booster together.

what lines? the brake lines that spiral with the springy thing around them?? no those dont come with them but you should be able to reuse them. it will come with a new booster check valve installed though.
and i would get a master and booster assembly, that way the are already together and it is good to replace them both if you have to replace one.
you'll have to bench bleed it too before you put it in the truck. google it.
