Anyone know how to repair a leaking brake booster?

Or is it replace only.

Thanks!

Replace only.

Which rig needs a booster? I think Mike's extra from the black gta is laying in my barn.

7. If I hit the brakes from about 30 in gear on to a stop it tries to die at the stop. If I let off and put in neutral and let the revs come down it stablizes fine.

Definitely vacuum leak. If I richen the carb up it's okay, but milage goes to shizzle. About 400rpm difference when first pushing on the brake at an idle.

Thought maybe since there was a core for them, there might be a repair.

The do remanufacture the things. But you can't buy anything to do it with.. You can see the 2 halves are latched together. You can bend the tabs and open it up. Diaphram is what usually splits. That will be sandwiched in there. No idea where you could get a new one.

Was hoping it would be something gm. Besides Mike's i've got several others that might have worked.
