Hi Guys
All of a sudden this started to happen,I put my brakes on and my pedal sticks down. I have to lift back up with my foot , it doesn't happen all the time. It will really brake hard. Is it my master or servo or something else. By the way it is a 72.
Thank you
Karl |

Your servo is hurting, I'd search for you but I'm too busy right now, try keywords like "servo AND itself" or "booster AND itself". _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.
Please don't PM technical questions, ask your problem in public so everyone can play along. If you think it's too stupid post it here

Sounds like it could be a bad pedal return spring. _________________ 71 Superbug

i fought this problem on my '77. I believe the seals in the servo are going dry.
my temp fix was to carefully pry back the accordian tube from the servo towards the front, and spraying some lube around the piston that enters the servo. Putting accordian tube back in place.
it works for a bit better, but eventually you'll want to have your servo rebuilt by Ron the rebuilder in Texas.
