Hi Guys

I would like to know where I can send my oval type power brake for rebuiling, Any idea of the cost? i know the bellows type cost a small fortune.

Thanks!

I am currently considering sending mine to these guys. Or going there in person since it is close to me. I have no references for them but I can let you know how it goes if you want.

I had mine done by Booster Dewey, in Oregon. But you can also purchase a rebuild kit, and do it yourself.

Booster Dewey

As Ian stated, quick service and a reasonable price. I will add- accessable and helpful.

I am not sure if I remember this bit of information correctly, but I think the price of a rebuild kt is close to what Dewey charges.

I checked out and I'm quite surprised of the $323 dollars from Booster Dewey ouch! same price as the bellows type. I'm obviously not updated with the prices of rebuilding. I have to consider the rebuilding kit then. Who carry those Brad?

Thanks a lot guys

I also called to:
http://www.powerbrakex-change.com/

price is actually higher, and the price is for disassemble, cleaning and reassembly ONLY, if something is broken inside the cost is going to be higher according to him. I would not even try them.

Sorry-
my mac/chrome won't create live links on this forum.

This may be what you are looking for 57-61 canister rebuild kit. $265

This is what I found a few years ago when Dewey's rebuild prices were closer to this price, so I went with him.

thanks a lot guys, I will check this options. Still it is hard to believe the prices, who can blame to the guys who change the booster for something else. I always felt lucky of my Oval canister, but the Bellows kit cost exactly the same.

Those guys I listed in Pittsburgh did great as far as I can tell. I have not put it back on the car or anything yet but I went there in person to drop off and pick up and so far I am pleased.
