Re: [FWDLK] Hissy fitting?

[eastern sierra Adj Services <esierraadj@xxxxxxxxx>]

I was PM'ed to ask about the brake pedal pressure; it's A-Ok, but
there's a heckuva hiss
going on.

So: the usual suspects, as far as parts-sellers are concerned: Bernbaum,
Kanter, Atlas; anyone have any preferences?

More importantly, is the installation of that diaphram so simple a
caveman (or a GM-owner) could do it?

It seems like it would be a really straight- forward operation.

Sounds like the diaphragm in the vacuum booster has developed a rupture, in a little while the rupture will be large enough to affect the brake power assist.

Time to order parts.

Recently, my car's cannister-type power brake system has emitted a quite
noticible hiss, when the brake pedal is applied (most noticible,
obviously, when the car is stopped).

The braking effort hasn't changed, but  I want to prevent any future
catastrophes, if possible.

AFAIK, I've never overhauled the brake booster but have replaced the M/C
with a dual-system.

I did replace the vacuum hose, leading to the cannister, as it looked
like there might have been a crack in it which may have been creating a
vacuum loss, but that crack didn't go thru the hose, & the hiss iss
persissting....

So, what-all do I need to buy and do, to be hiss-less?
