WHERE IS THE ADJUSTMENT ON THE ROD? I HAVE BEEN BLEEDING THE BRAKES FROM THE FARTHEST WHEEL FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER AND WORKED MY WAY TO THE FRONT. WHEN I UNHOOK THE BACK BRAKES I THEN HAVE EXCELLENT FRONT BRAKES AND WHEN I RECONNECT THE BACK BREAKS I HAVE NO BRAKES AT ALL AFTER OR DURING BLEEDING.

Pull your master cyl back off-you will see a rod sticking out of your booster-That is what needs to be adjusted Try to legthen it up by holding the rod with a pair of plyers and turning the nut attached to the ball at the end.Repeat this in 1/8 in increments.

DO YOU FELL THIS WILL FIX MY PROBLEM? I AM REALLY GETTING TIRED OF THESE BRAKES IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. ON THE PORPOTION VALVE CAN THAT LITTLE SWITCH ON THE TOP BE REPLACED WILL THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE? THE OTHER GUY ON THE TECH SUPPORT I CALLED YESTERDAY SAID THAT I SHOULD HAVE MY ENGINE RUNNING. BECAUSE BEFORE I CALLED HIM I HAD MY ENGINE OFF AND GOT OK BRAKE AND WHEN I STARTED IT THEY WERE TO THE FLOOR.

I CANT FIND THE NUT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT WITH THE BOOSTER WHERE IS IT LOCATED AT. IS IT ON THE INSIDE BECAUSE IT IS NOT UNDER THE DASH WERE IT HOOKS UP TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND IT ISNT ON THE END OF THE ROD THAT CONNECTS TO THE MASTER CYLINDER. DO YOU PULL THE ROD OUT OF THE BOOSTER IS THE NUT LOCATED DOWN LOWER ON THE ROD?
