Acorn Nut on Brake Booster

Post by SteinOnkel »

Hello,

is the spec for the acorn nut adjustment measured from the base of the booster or the top of the plastic cup?

Thanks
Steiny

Thanks, I saw that. The picture is grainier than the cereal I had for breakfast though.

I tried that, couldn't get it to bleed because literally nothing was pumping. Then I screwed it out two turns farther, bled fine, braked fine UNTIL the sucker got a little hot, then it started dragging :-/ So I'm thinking one turn in and we're good. It's not rocket science.
