Re: Rebuilding my hydroboost!

While I'm still waiting on parts;
Rebuild kits are a little tough to come by, as I can only find one company that actually makes the product, MBM brake boosters. They retail it through a few different diesel vendors and hot rod shops, but everyone has the same kit. Its around $40 for the complete kit, with a new spring retainer and every gasket.

When I called the diesel repair shop near me, he said many places stopped servicing them because things like the Gas Resevoir started to become a liability. I find this funny, as its a replaceable self-contained unit which doesn't really require anything special. Only other option I could find besides the MBM kit was a reman unit, ranging from $225 and up, not even counting the core or a master.
