[Chrysler300] Gimme a brake

["Rich Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

I'm not sure whether my experience with my one-year-only Kelsey-Hayes
booster on our 1955 C-300 is applicable, but I was able to disassemble and
clean the check valve.  The body was torqued very tight, but a hex socket,
breaker bar and a vise sufficed for disassembly.  There was a synthetic ball
and a light spring inside that could probably have been cleaned with solvent
and checked for seal using lung power without disassembly.  Turns out there
was a tear in the booster diaphragm, but I felt satisfied.  Best guess is
that your booster diaphragm has developed a hole.

C-300'ly,
Rich Barber
Brentwood, CA
1955 C-300
