Rebuilding a brake booster is not a easy job lots of parts inside can break easy trust me broke a few over the yrs when doing my time in a brake shop.
 
The most common thing what goes in the boosters is the diaphragms
 

 
Now the one here is out of my xd van sp ot does have to of them and they look worse cause they tore getting them off.
 
Now first step to getting them apart is to mark the outer case of the booster so u know where the top half and bottom half need to line up,
 
You will need a press a plate to go in between the press for the booster to be held in using the bolts that hold it to the fire wall, a long flat bar with 3 holes in to go over the studs and the pin that goes into the master (needs to be long for leverage as top and bottom will be stuck together good) now depending on how thick the bar you have is you will a small bit of tube to go over the pin as it will poke through.
 

 
Put in the press with a bit of pressure but don't go overboard and then start turning the top half with the bar just watch you don't bend the studs to much if it doesn't move u can use a pair of vice grips to bend the peens on the bottom half a bit to let it move a bit easier
 

 
Now once you get it to turn and line the 2 bits up you can release the pressure off the press now don't go to quick as there is a spring in there not as strong as a brake chamber off a truck but will make shoot out if not careful.
 
Now this is how one will look when one has had brake fluid in it for a bit
 

 
Give it all a clean up with the sand blaster, now the main part to be careful with is the bakerlite guts

Just copy and paste your booster rebuild pics, from the old forum?
The reference pics would be a good to have.

I get it all from the local brake shop I worked for yrs ago that still does the old school work unlike some of the new ones around

Hey Jack not much has happened with the van been on the backseat while we built the daughters execl racecar.

What booster are you wanting to rebuild? It may take a bit of time doing a tutorial on doing the booster up but will get it up just have to find the time to sit and one up

Heya JCA.
While she is at it... can she put up some panelvan porn for us... l like the blue beast.... hehe.

I also may also need to rebuild my booster... but different model... later.
I take it rebuilding is straight forward but as always its all in the order and method.???
I'll read the tute anyway.

Xf boosters wont fit, Putting a kit in is not real hard but have never seen a full kit for sale but each part inside has a part number on them, If u do end up pulling it apart urself just be careful not break any of the bakerlite and you will something to put the rear seal in with as they break easy as. If you were closer to me i would say send it to me and i would do it for half the price 

Put up that Booster rebuild tutorial you did, some yrs ago dude.

Thanks mate👍

Glad u have all fixed 

Finally got the hardline nut undone today using vice grips & 19mm spanner & the flid pissed out which is a good thing then put on another hose & bled the caliper & all 4 brakes are working now
