Brakes adjusted up, etc etc. When I looked in my shop manual (gm service manual) It talks about bleedeing my hydrovac. The problem is I don't have a bleeder on the end of the piston like the one in my book. Anyone out there who can shine light on this would be great. My pedal feels not good. Two pumps maybe 1 1/2 and the brakes are solid. I can't seem to get anymore air out of it. The manual is leading me to believe I need to bleed my booster somehow. Thanks for all replies.

i'm having trouble getting a good pedal too. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 89 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 89 | I almost want to remove the booster at this point and machine a bleeder valve into it. I'm just plain tired of beating a dead horse. (not that I have ever beaten a dead horse!)
