What size is the hub nut on the front hub? Also, is the star - lock washer a dealer item, I cannot find it anywhere? Did a search and nothing came back, visited all the local parts stores with no luck on either item. I am in the middle of rotors, bearings, brakes on our 94 and found the...

Update: It was the booster Got a used booster today from the scrap yard and threw it in this afternoon. $100 used, vs $300 - $600 reman unit, or $935 from the stealership. I still do not have an answer for the tests performed on the booster I described above indicating the booster was...

Correct, hence the (I think). Good catch.

Thanks both. I'm getting back into it today and try both. Thanks again.

Oil analysis You know you can send your used oil off to Blackstone laboratories ( I think ), and have it analyzed for free. They will show you what properties are holding up well, where there are any concerns, etc. You can do this and monitor the results, therefore increasing your Oil Change...

Nothing Wow, nothing......no help huh? I guess I'm going after the booster, that's all it can be. Perhaps the double diaphram is throwing the results of my testing off a bit, i.e. one diaphram punctured, one is okay???? Strange inconsistency though. I will try to let folks know what I come...

Info and testing Throught some internet exploring and research I found several checks for the booster and brake system. Engine OFF- depress pedal several times, there should be no change to the reserve (amount of space between bottomed out and pedal position) This is good, there is no change...

Little more info, more questions Okay after some more digging, investigating this is what I have. Searched 12 to 15 pages of posts that came back searching both brakes and brake booster. Seems eerily similar to a few booster related threads. I went back down after some of this research and I...

Booster??? Okay got home, checked it out first. No obvious vacuum lines off or cracked, no leaks at any hard lines, calipers, etc. I put my foot on the pedal, prior to starting the engine, felt okay, semi soft for about 1/2", then real firm. Started it up and with foot on the brake, into...

Thanks GonOvr, headed home shortly. I figured as much, but as I said, this will be the first wrenching on a Toyota. Well except the trans sensor I replaced after we bought it. PO thought tranny was bad and head was bad. Nope on either one. Thanks again, I appreciate it.:cheers:

Wifes vehicle. I am historically a Chevy guy, familiar with the square body's C/K and right now knee deep in an 89 GMC K5 Jimmy. Anyhow, she called me today and said her brakes feel like she is pressing a brick. I am assuming that she has lost the "power" brake feeling when pressing on the...
