Re: Cherokee Brake Problems-Brake Booster?
 

You have too many threads going on.

I gave up rebuilding MC's years ago. The kits just plain don't work
because you have to hone out the cylinder and they 'don't' sell you
oversized O-rings or cups to make up for it.

A big plus with the better rebuilt master cylinders is the installation of
a bronze cylinder which is much less likely to corrode than the aluminum of
the original bore.
