first of all, thanks in advance for any help and thanks just for being here, i appreciate all the input i have recieved in the past. replacing my entire a/c was a chore but i got it done, but somehow broke something (a vent door for the floor vents or something) so every time i start or stop the engine or push on or off the recirculate button i get about 12 seconds of clicking noise from the vent, but i can live with that considering its a 10 yr old with 220K.
now to my sons truck - '96 350 Z-71
brake pedal is very mushy and has a "air suction" sound. holding a baggie around the brake rod grommet at the firewall shows that air is passing from the cab into the firewall, assumedly into the booster pump. so - assumedly this needs replacing.
having never messed with these before - any suggestions? questions:
are there any tricks to removal and replacement, or is it just straightforward? is a brake bleeding necessary afterwards? is a used part worht the savings? any way to tell if i should replace the master cylinder also, or is it recommended to go ahead and do it anyway?
also, i glanced through All Data DIY and didnt see much in there about the booster pump but i really didnt have time to look too hard last night, and chiltons has nothing. does this mean it is too much for a DIYer?
