MC or Booster??

[300rag]

I have found that after applying the brakes the pedal does not always return on it's own and leave the brakes applied. Sometimes I will have to pull it back up with my toe. The brakes don't appear to be acting abnormally other than this. I am just not sure where to start. Suggestions??

Best shots I have right now of the MC/booster

Bellows are shot in the brake booster.

Guess I'll rebuild my spare and swap it out. I really hate crawling under the dash to work those nuts though.

Man, that does suck!!!!!!!!!!!
A complete assortment or 1/4" drive sockets, deep sockets, flex sockets, u-joints, extensions of varying lengths, a bunch of LED lights, and band-aids will do the trick, though.

Got it without the band-aids, but not without the sore twisted back today. That upper right nut was a b!tch, and I hate to say it, but that third pedal gets in the way too.

Sounds like a real nice problem to have.

Let you know when I take it out on the weekend.

....at 5:00 AM when there's no traffic. LOL

You should pretty much know if you fixed the problem by time you leave the driveway.

It's the weekend. Damned if I'm getting my *** out of bed at that hour. Five days a week is enough.
