Changed to Manual brakes... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well after bleeding brakes and such I found that my booster just wasn't working right, so yanked it all out and and spent the remainder of my day light time switching to manual brakes..never done any such thing myself ever...it was fun and hot and took me some time.....I am surprised to say that I am happier with manual brakes than I was with my rigged power setup. My brakes are MOTHER F^%#^*S. I was driving in circles in my girlfreinds parking lot of her apartments and braking and reversing and brakeing and driving and slamming on brakes and easing brakes and stuff to test them out.....some dudes playing basket ball were freaking out

SO I'm happy and proud that I know how to bleed brakes now. SO I'm gonna hold on to my booster and push lever stuff, and maybe someday I might have original P. Brakes. for now rusty stops with a heavy foot and holds at an incline with an oncoming cramp.
Later guys...Thanks for all your help.

Wouldn't it have been easier to just get a new booster?
