Power brake hydro booster leaking rebuild or replace? - Diesel Forum

Does anyone know if the hydro booster for the brakes can be rebuilt or do you just have to replace them.
Also is there a place online with a good price on a new or rebuilt unit?

Thanks Marc

You can pick up a cheap replacement hydro unit from a salvage yard index I use. car-part.com make sure you put in the dash.

I searched for the unit you are looking for and found several for as little as $20.00 under the F450 column. You will need to read through them until you find ones that list the hydro unit because not all salvage yards employ skilled inventory listers [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].

Hope this helps.
p.s. keep this website under your favorites you can find anything you are looking for there.

Good luck, Eric

he doesn't have a f450. Do you mean a vacuum booster, or has opne of your trucks been converted? They really aren't that expensive at the parts store, I think advance has them.

No 912504x4 was right it is for an f-450 it is the hydro boost valve not a vaccum booster. Thanks for the tip.
