| Vacuum..
Shlomo's brakes are terribly hard, but the vacuum pump reads 22-24 inches of vacuum.
What gives? Noone ever talks about vacuum issues, except that they are time consuming to diagnose, but easy to repair. Can anyone point me toward somewhere that would outline testing of the booster itself? do they go bad as early as 150k? I guess 27 years is a while for any one part to last, even if it's spent most of them parked though, huh?
I am tired of standing on the pedal and praying, ya'll |

Before we worry about the booster, when were the brakes bled last? |

Brakes bleed?
I don't know, but I know I haven't broken a line or leaked any fluid, only changed pads. I'll look into it |
