Gaging
1. Place the power head assembly in a padded vise (front
housing up).
Do not clamp tight!
2. Remove the front housing seal to assure that no
vacuum is in the power head while gaging.
3. Insert the master cylinder piston rod, flat end first,
into the piston rod retainer.
4. Press down on the master cylinder piston rod (with
approximately a 40-50 pound load) to be sure it is properly
seated.
5. Place Gage J-22647 over the piston rod in a position
which will allow the gage to be slipped to the left or right
w ithout contacting the studs (fig. 5-5D).
6. The center section o f the gage has two levels. The
piston rod should always contact the longer section (lower
level) of the gage. The piston rod should never contact the
shorter section (higher level) of the gage. Move gage from side
to side to check piston rod height.
7. Any variation beyond these two limits m ust be
compensated for by obtaining the service adjustable piston
rod and adjusting the self-locking screw to meet the gaging
specifications.
8. Wipe a thin film of silicone lubricant on the I.D. of
the front housing seal and position seal in the depression in
the housing.
BENDIX HYDRAULIC BRAKE BOOSTER (HYDRO-BOOST)
UNIT REPAIR
The Bendix Hydraulic Brake Booster utilizes the
hydraulic pressure supplied by the power steering pum p to
provide power assist for brake applications (fig. 5-IE). The
dual m aster cylinder is m ounted to the output push rod end
of the booster.
The procedures below include removal of the m ounting
bracket even though it is not necessary to remove the bracket
for overhaul of the internal assembly.
Disassembly (Fig. 5*2E)
1. Secure the booster in a vise (bracket end up) and use
a ham m er and chisel to cut the bracket nut that secures the
Fig. 5-1E--Bendix Hydro-Boost Brake Booster
m ounting bracket to the power section (cut the nut at the
open slot in the threaded portion of the housing). Be careful
to avoid dam age to the threads on the booster hub. Spread
the nut and remove it from the power section. Then remove
the m ounting bracket.
2. Remove the pedal rod boot (if equipped) by pulling
it off over the pedal rod eyelet.
3. Place Tool J-24569 around the pedal rod and resting
on the input rod end as shown in Figure 5-3E.
4. Place a punch (or similar tool) through the pedal rod
from the lower side of Tool J-24569. Push the punch on
through to rest on the higher side of the tool. Lift up on the
punch to shear the pedal rod retainer; remove the pedal rod.
5. Remove the rem nants of the rubber grom m et from
the groove near the end of the pedal rod and from the groove
inside the input rod end.
6. W ith a small screwdriver, pry the plastic guide out
of the output push rod retainer. Disengage the tabs of the
spring retainer from the ledge inside the opening near the
m aster cylinder m ounting flange of the booster. Remove the
retainer and the piston return spring from the opening.
7. Pull straight out on the output push rod to remove
the push rod and push rod retainer from inside the booster
piston.
8. Press in on spool plug, and using a small screwdriver,
remove the snap ring from the housing bore.
9. Use pliers to remove the spool plug from the bore.
Remove the "O" ring seal from the plug; discard the "O"
