The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network - View Single Post - brake problem, broken pushrod or booster, now what?

This needs to be explained further. I didn't do anything but remove the master cyclinder, and when I did the rubber parts of the booster came out with it. Then I attempted to re-assemble everything. And remember, the problem of having "sticking brakes" was happening before the MC was ever even touched.

But I do admit...the problem of having the pedal go all the way to the floor and provide NO pump to the MC is a new one.

So the pushrod (if I am correctly describing the part that inserts into the master cyclinder) has two ends to it, right? the "ROUNDED" end and then the sort of "NOTCHED" end with a rubber O-ring near it. Which end goes into the MC? I was putting the smooth end in there and that seems right, no?
