Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates

So is the socket necessary to get the hydroboost out of Astro? I havent went to pick mine up yet and was wondering if I needed it to remove it or just to take OEM brackets off of it when it is out? Also does anyone know if I still have the drums on the back can I use the master cylinder from a vehicle that had discs all the way around?

Re: Hydroboost Mounting Plates

No you do not need the socket to remove the unit from the vehicle. Depending on the shape of the factory bracket, you may or may not need the socket to remove the factory mounting bracket. Some of the Astro vans' factory brackets will bolt right up to my booster brackets.

If you have a disc/drum brake system on your truck, you should run a disc/drum master cylinder with the disc/drum proportioning valve.
