Doug,
 
Thank you for sharing that with the list.  I know there is much good
information that gets sent directly to the person raising the question
instead of being shared with the list.  Please folks, unless it is something
personal or confidential, please share it with all of us.  That's what this
list is all about, sharing information!  click on "Reply to All".

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your reply! Your solution to the problem sounds like it will
work on my H as well. It's the onle explanation that makes sense to me.

I think that I have an original booster on my car, but after 46 years, who
knows.

Did you encounter any problems with removing and replacing the push rod from
the booster?

Thanks again,
Doug Warrener

Hi Doug,
I had the same problem with my H. My pedal traveled almost to the floor so I
felt really uncomfortable driving the car. I tried adjusting the rod, and
the brakes locked up until I returned the adjustment to the original
position. I finally found the solution. I removed the push rod that connects
to the brake pedal and protrudes into the booster. I took it to work and had
our tool maker duplicate one that was about 3/16 inch longer than the
original one. Now the brakes work fine. Turns out I have the wrong booster
on the car.

Hi Group,

I need some expert help in understanding a problem with the "push rods" in
the 
power brake booster on my 300H.
I obtained this H about two years ago, and the brake pedal has always had
about 
3/4 inch of free play. 
After completely going through the entire system ( drums, shoes.wheel and
master 
cylinders, bleeding and replacing the fluid and adjustments), I have finally

determined that the problem is inside the power brake booster.
The push rod that engages the master cylinder piston was adjusted properly
and I 
determined that the pedal free play was between the two push rods somewhere 
inside the booster.
I then adjusted out the push rod to the master cylinder piston until most of
the 
free play was eliminated.
As you can guess the brakes locked up, and I have now re-adjusted the push
rod 
to it's original position and again have the free play in the petal.

Thanks in advance for your help and comments,
Doug Warrener
