so my work van has a hyrdo boost master cylinder and its been a while since ive done one.

Whats the best way to bleed the master cylinder and im assuming you have to bleed the hydro lines to the steering pump as well.
So whats the best way to go about this?
Its a 97 2500 4.3 van.
And if anyone around wants to help theres free beer and pizza involved:)
Thanks in advance
 
is it the master cyl leaking, or the hydroboost?

If I'd seen this sooner, I'd have walked ya thru it today ( I can't physically help, maybe explain later)

It's not tough, possibly annoying, and I have done both a few times. If it's just the maste, you won't need to mess with the hydrobooster other than removing the master and installing it, unless of course the booster is leaking.

PM your number, I have a few appointments in Durham tomorrow, maybe I can drop by after the appointments
 
neither are leaking as far as i can tell really. what its doing is when you push the brake medal and hold it steady as you usually would, it feels as though its losing braking power so you really have to gradually apply more and more pedal to finally bring it to a stop and many time go to the floor to get it to a stop.
hope that helps some. Im actually gonna try to get it done tomorrow night after work around 6 or so if your gonna be in the area let me know ill PM my number to you though
thanks
