    Brake booster vacuum problem= all 4 brakes stucks

    Soo my mechanic replace my leaking brake hose yesterday.now, when i press one time on the brake pedal, the compression work well. But after the 4 brakes is stuck like air come in but doesn't go out. When i disconnect the vaccuum hose from the brake booster . The brakes is now free and the brake pedal work well again? Did i have to replace the brake booster completely or i rebleed all ? Thanks

      Yea if this is a fresh swap its possible you didn’t get the clevis cut short enough and need to adjust it. What booster are you running? On my 944 booster i took off a decent amount and then re threaded it. No issues so far. Although my body guy did say it felt like my brakes were dragging but not sure i believe him cause i didn’t have any issues driving it to him.

        I took from a renault like it said in e30zone and i did the little spacer in the master cyclinder. I think it parts of the problem.

            If the clevis pin is not adjusted right. It will result in the brakes getting stuck.

                The spacer just has to take the space difference between boosters.
                The length given on e30zone is just a rough estimate (what worked for that user).

                Mine was only 10mm. That might be your issue?
