Stupid
Yesterday I replaced the brake booster and m/c. No problem...
Last night I got to thinking, I did not use anything to seal between the booster and fire wall. I went into the shed and found some 1/2 wide close cell sticky back foam strips.
Removed the booster cleaned the fire wall and the booster applied the foam.
STUPID..............I have spent the last 3 1/2 hours trying to get that dang booster back in the truck. It looks as if the steel bracket on the inside that holds the brake petal has moved down. I should have just let it go or gooped some RTV and said to HELLo with it
Kinda hard to do by your self when it wants to lick your butt.
I knew it was going to good to be true.
