Why wouldn't you just buy a rebuilt one? That seems easier that having your existing one rebuilt and probably would not cost any more...

Mine never worked from new but there was a delay from the built to the day of purchase so I was told by Napa auto part that they could have it rebuilt, they seem to be everywhere. ed ke6bnl So Calif.

I don't know if you have an aftermarket booster retrofitted on a light truck or OE booster for a medium or heavy duty truck. Here are my bookmarks for brake booster service and parts.

I noticed that LMC Truck is now offering a rebuild/exchange service for boosters.

I have no personal experience with any of these companies.
