Thanks for the detailed tear down, John. Over the last 4 decades i have rebuilt just about everything on my cars, but i have never taken a brake booster apart, interesting to finally see the insides. The fact that i have needed to tear one apart just goes to show how reliable simple technology is.
Steve, I really like taking things apart...sometimes royally screwing them up in the process, but over the years it's how I've learned a lot of things. Works for me, my friend. 😛 Regards, John
Both boots are vacuum seals! My bakelite plastic was broken. I very carefully and specially repaired it with slow cure JB Weld. ! Hope you get it to work.
There are no one left now. I got a new master cylinder, and the booster done by a man, who had all things to do it. The whole deel was at 860 dollars. Right now I am going true the carburater. More than 1 wrong spelling. Thank You, for the work, on the videos. Valiuble information.
I had my booster for my '65 which is the crimp style they installed a new boot, and check valve and shipping for $324 holy mackerel! Gee, I think I will have a brand new car by the time I am done.....
@@joernone I am happy to report sir that it not only aids in digestion, it provides quality information, entertainment, and also proof that there are good people in this crazy world! Keep up the superb work John! My best - Don
Looking at the video I see no reason this booster wouldn't be OK. Just clean everything and assemble and I bet it will work just fine. I rebuilt many boosters back in the day. Take care and Merry Christmas to you and Wifey.
I agree. I'm surprised at how pliable the rubber seals still are. I figured they'd be hard as rocks with a million tears and cracks throughout. I'm not complaining, my friend. 😁 Regards, John
John, that brake booster would look really good painted in Ford Blue... just saying !! That was cool watching you disassemble that part... as you always say NO RUSH !! Merry Christmas John to you and your family.
Sorry, Ron, all boosters were black. Glad you enjoyed watching the tear-down. What say I send it to you for reassembly? But no cardboard please. 😉 Regards, John
That's interesting. I have never been into a brake booster. Changed many of them but never tried to fix one. Hope you and Wifey have a very merry Christmas. Don't eat too much.
Very interesting....I've always wondered what was inside one of those boosters, now I know ! Merry Christmas to you, wifey , and all of your family ! Dave in Mi. aka KC8YOX
Makes me wonder John if parts from the Lincolns from that time might have interchangeable parts with the Birds of that time. I know that some parts between the Merc Marques, the Crown Vics, and the Town Cars had parts that would swap. You know, back in the 60's and 70's I use to go to Flatrock to watch the stocks run. I probably watched Brendan run that track a time or two.
Carl, No doubt the Lincoln parts would be interchangeable, also a very heavy car and all that, but they would still require tear-down to see how they held up over the years. And as for Brendan at the track...chances are you did see him, my friend. Regards, John
Come on John, don't be so cheap...BUY a new brake booster...LOL Of course you can sell the car and you will have lots of Christmas money for wifie....LOL Merry Christmas to you and your family John!
Bill, Listen here, old man,...get some nads and turn comments to your videos back on, no ifs, ands or buts about it. Zero discussion. You have over 9000 subscribers and you're letting one...ONE!...call the shots for the rest of us? No! Wrong! We're the majority, so fight that stupid turd troll tooth and nail. Keep blocking him over and over and laugh out loud every time you do. Make it happen mo-ricky-ticky. Mind you...I'll drive you nuts until it happens. I mean it! Regards, John
Superb video, watched it extensively before I pulled my booster apart to see if it might have been a simple fix. Had less brake fluid in mine by the look, but more cracked parts and a lack of retaining clips on the input/output rods Mind If I use a clip to direct our watchers over this way for more thunderbird content in our next episode on our '66?
Hi John, I'm Adrian, Chris and myself are building a kit car, restoring a '66 Thunderbird and a few other cars in the UK. Been keeping up with your rebuild for a while and found this one extremely useful trying to redo my brake system. Happy to send you a link to a pre-release of the video tomorrow Thanks again for your videos and help! Adrian
Adrian (middle name of our oldest grandson), I have no problem with your request. Make it happen, my friend. But in the future be sure to include at least your first name when asking for something. It's rude not to do so. Regards, John

Hello, struggling to find a replacement for my own '65, or a rebuild kit as you mentioned. Did you ever clean/reassemble this one and if so did it work? Thanks.
Steve, Conway. Thanks for popping in, my friend. It's good to have you here. In terms of YT vides the colder weather has slowed my down, but we'll soon be back up and running again. Regards, John
joernone: I’m down in Arkadelphia. My parents had a white ‘65 T-bird when I was little. They loved that car. It was the gold standard they compared every other car they owned to.
Pat, Thank you. That sounds like a plan, my friend. I first want to try a standard o-ring, but if that goes south I'll for sure get back to you. Regards, John

My pleasure, Donald. Hopefully, it'll continue to aid with digestion. 😜

I just did my 65 Monaco Booster. That bayonet mount has a rubber valve behind it.

Needed specifically this!!!
Thank you!
Great video!!
Had to laugh when you complained of smelling like Liquid Wrench. My dad called it "liquid stench". Enjoyed the video
Merry Christmas to you and yours John.
Hi John nice video...always wondered what the inside of a broke booster looked like!

Johnny,
When put back together, there's no guarantee this one will work. It's all experimental, my friend...the fun of the hobby.
