Sit'n still, I got brakes

Old "pesky neighbor" Wayne look'n good. 

After a tiring an' long day, I think I got brakes. Not road tested mind ya, but they feel soooo much better than a few days ago when they didn't work worth a crap. Could'a kill myself ya know....maybe somebody else too.

In case ya wanna know, I was patient. I waited for Mark.

Ya see, it's like this....after I finish my first mug of coffee an' get both eyes wide open, I climbs up under "Sally da house"....just to take a look see. Need a part number. My gosh, they install all that brake stuff way up there in a tiny little space bout 4 inches wide. I cain't see the hydroboost to get a part number off'n it. It's hid behind this chunk of metal with a hunnert bolts through it. But I can see the bell crank what Mark is gonna work on today.

Speak'n of Mark, here he come with a big ol' tool box an' a piece of carpet for lay'n on the ground. We got them goat head stickers ya know. We sit on "da porch" an' discuss the brake pedal what is no longer binding up an' stuff like that. We run a hydroboost brake booster test an' pass with fly'n colors. Or we think we passed anyhows. The decision was made to proceed with our original plan, disassemble the bell crank and related brake operator levers what could be binding. Mark goes to work. Nut's an' bolts fly'n all direction. The bell crank is removed. "It's rather tight don't ya think Mark"? (Hard to turn). Took it apart, cleaned and greased 'er up....slick as owl poop, ready to reinstall. Mark finds a machined bolt thingy what is froze stifffer an' a board. Won't turn, an' it supposed to...pivot point for the hydroboost lever.

That's the hydroboost lever there an' that bolt thingy is supposed to turn inside the lever.
Ain't no way we gonna ever get it out. I'm bout a hunnert percent....or so, sure this is where the problem lies with the brake pedal binding up. We make a modification.....that gonna work just fine.

Mark has everthing put back together....test time. Holy cows, that feel just like brand spank'n new. I fire up the 8.1 Chevy Vortec, the hydroboost kicks in, I push the pedal, it go down bout 4 inch or so an' come right back up when I take my big foot off the pedal. (Workhorse says 6 inch brake travel normal. So I beat normal by a couple inches. Yeee har!!!
