Brake pedel won't return.
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 22-Aug-02 AT 09:47 AM (EST)]My 77 F-250 has great brakes, but the pedel sticks, or returns very slowly, and usually needs to be pulled up with my toe to get it fully returned. I have changed the master clynder, and removed an old trailer brake that was on it, but it did not help. I would be thankful for any ideas.
Thanks.

the previous message is correct, there is a hinge mechanism behind the booster, mine was kinda seized up after the years. either get it
lubed up. or what i ended up doing was i elliminated that hinged piece
behind the booster, i went and bought a brand new ford 1976 f250 4x4
booster, which does not use that mechanism. a 76 booster is a straight
shot from the pedal to the booster with nothing in between. works great! good luck glen bransfield
