Man i love these old master cylinders,when it comes to bench bleeding them its a breeze, i have one in my car that has a little snout and inside of the snout it has a damn plunger for the low brake fluid sensor so they are just about impossible to bench bleed by sticking hoses in them, once you try to plunge them the brake fluid goes everywhere, i do have this tool shown in the video and i love it!!

I also bought one of your tool for adjusting my 68 Mustang master cylinder and brake booster. It made it easier to adjust the booster pin. Great little tool to have. Thanks for a great investment.

Thank you sir... I've been looking so long for the explaination like this You made me get through inside that darkness 📌 pin ..

1972 Chevrolet C/10… This tool fit my brake booster and master cylinder perfectly. I replaced the brake booster on my truck. The rear brakes kept locking up on me, after I installed the new brake booster. I ordered this tool and it was delivered to me in Oregon very quickly. I checked the pushrod length initially and found, the pushrod was 3/16” too long. Giving PRELOAD to my brakes from the very start. My foot wasn’t even on the brake pedal. Therefore, I made the necessary changes to the length of the pushrod, and there is approximately a gap of .015” between the brake booster pushrod and the master cylinder piston. I’m going to reassemble everything and check to see if my REAR BRAKES are fixed. Today is November 3, 2022 and I will update my post with the final outcome of this issue within a couple days.

Awesome

Great explanation! Thanks for taking the time to show.

Amazing video. This is by far the best explanation of the power booster and master cylinder adjustment. The cut away is superb and emphasize the critical need for detail. Simply fantastic, thank you

Awesome explanation and comments. Great video.

On my first (and only) Corvette, I bought all CSSB brake parts and have been very impressed with everything. Definitely an upgrade!

Thank you very much for your video! I just bought your tool!

Great video, just got your tool for my 1979 280zx wilwood brake upgrade, pin needed to come out about 1/4". Going to bleed brakes again and check pedal 👍👍

Excellent explanation

Thank you ! this vdo make me understand how push rod work

This is by far the single best explanation of adjusting the rod..I’m a DVET and can’t do much R&R anymore after turning a wrench for 30yrs..plus no one wanted a crippled tech..anyway I let someone build a truck for me for the first time, and they installed a 9inch booster instead of the 11 it came with ,and there’s no space for the 11 anymore..but it’s got wilwood set up, and the peddle has to be pumped twice before I get brakes , I made them bleed it twice ..I installed a vac canister , got a little better..they had to install a adapter plate for the booster to be mounted ..while it won’t effect the pin on the master I’m thinking maybe the distance from the booster and the brake peddle adjustment rod....I’m going to adjust the booster pin first ,and see if that helps ..great video..

I like it. Very clever tool. Much easier than using caliper or machinist rule.

Great video and super tool. I bought the tool to use with a Datsun 240Z I am restoring but have an aftermarket brake booster. I know your video and ads say the tool is for the 68-76 Corvette but the tool looks exactly like the one that Baer Brakes and Master Power brakes sell for twice the price and they advertise it as universal for all cars so I took a chance that your tool is the same. Just used it tonight but won't have a chance to drive the car for a week or so but I'm pretty sure it worked great.

what an excellent idea you are truly a genius . Is this tool on the market and is there an application for Ford F150's

Thanks for this video ! Maybe it's the cause of my problem. I've installed a booster on my 68 Camaro ( front disc rear drums ), and now it brakes a lot at half pedal.

This is amazing !!! Would you consider it universal> ? BY that I mean can I use this on a 1966 mustang to setup a power brake booster and master cylinder ? Thanks in advance,. If YES , I am ordering !!!

That’s great. My Mustang has a adapter on it. So do I put the adapter on the master cylinder to get the correct size.?.

If you are going to use a gasket between the master and booster, don't forget to include it when measuring the depth of the master push rod.

I just purchased your tool from Amazon. I’m hoping I can use it to adjust the pushrod on my 2000 Toyota 4Runner’s brake booster.

Did it work on your Toyota? I just ordered one for my 1990 Toy pickup. According to the measurements, it seems it should work.

The booster pushrod moves awfully easily with just your fingers. I'm no expert but I think it could use some blue Loctite on the threads to keep it from vibrating out of adjustment.

whats the name of that measueing tool

We made this Brake Booster as per GM-Bendix prints. Dating this booster is not easy because we powder coat the cases early on in the assembly process. If we were to hold some cases back for dating, it would be a lot of work to then powder coat it and then assemble. In reference to the check valve, there are several takes on what is correct according to the NCRS manuals from 1968-76 Corvettes. You can email us at sales@cssbinc.com

@@cssbinc1 Yes. Maybe I didn't have it centered correctly on the master cylinder. The true measure for a particular vehicle hinges on the rod length in the tool. I'm not sure if the rod length specs would be the same in all vehicles (universal), for foreign and domestic cars. I'm willing to give the tool another try since I may not have correctly centered on the master cylinder. I will take a look at the measurements on Amazon. Getting this right is so important I have delayed mounting my new master cylinder on the rebuilt booster. Thanks!

I received this tool in the mail today. Can confirm using it in reverse worked for my 2008 Nissan Frontier. I flipped the round point over to the booster side. Drop the pin into the master cylinder, put the H shap to base of master cylinder, locked pin, flipped it over to master cylinder side placed H to base of booster, remaining pin showed me what I needed to cut off on booster rod. Make sure to cut short so you can leave the small gap(account for your cut wheel thickness. Work as described here just opposite sides. Nissan booster r not adjustable. I purchased wrong booster that had the downhill decent control plug or off road package. The rod was to long locking my brakes up. I tossed the box and was unable to return booster. This tool saved me 136$

That looks like the Chrysler 79' 360 booster I got under my dodge hood.... ? Anyone ?

Excellent demonstration! I'm having the opposite issue with a brake upgrade I'm doing on a Fiero. I suspect that my piston push rod is too short. I bought an oversized booster for an S10 truck and I'm mating it to the stock master cylinder. The booster has a fixed length floating removable push rod. I have turned the web upside down in search of an adjustable length push rod to use in its place. Can anyone point me in the direction of such a part? I already have a copy of your nifty tool on order.

Martin, We have that type pin on our "to do" list. You can have someone cut the pin in a lathe, drill and tap each cut piece and put a long thread rod with 2 nuts to tighten up when you get the right length or you can stack small washers to get the proper length. I suggest using Red loctite when you are all finished to hold tight.
