Hydroboost Help!!!!

[M1028A1ShelterCarrier]

My hydroboost is leaking down the floorboard and I dont want to spend 200 on a rebuild. Where can I get a seal kit and what is the part #. I cant see it being that hard to replace the seals. The GM dealer here said it obsolete. I have searched napa and kragen online and I cant find it.

I think I saw the kit on ebay the other day... If that helps.

I think I saw that too but couldnt find anything today. ThX

I bought on of those Hydroboost rebuild kits off of E Bay. The guy is located in Tacoma Washington and uses the e bay name of 27d14. He is a very good guy to deal with. I have not installed it yet and actually just went to look for it and can't find the kit.

I sent him an email. Do you remember what you paid? I hape you can find it so you can share the part#. Thanks

I went down to Napa today and they said I was SOL and tried to sell me a rebuild for $214. My Hydraboost works good minus a very small leak inside the cab.

Mine was also leaking, just like yours down on to the floorboard. I put in some PS Fluid sealer, and it has stopped. Hopefully it will hold for a while.

So, CarQuest on Milpas didn't have the boot kit? How about the generic Kragen on upper State St.?

God, I love SB.

Im havent tried the carquest. I went into Kragen and the 18yo kids didnt even know what a hydroboost was.

 

[gasser]

Yeah, I know what you mean. I have been in that particular store, always leaving with "Why did I even bother" ...
I went to SBHS (90-94), and had a friend who's mom work at that CarQuest on Milpas St. I believe she was a part owner. Good folks there - if it's still around.....

I found it! It was in a safe place where it would not get easily lost and aparently easily found. The kit has three O rings, two cone fittings for the for the hydraulic hose sockets, a large and small seal both of whitch do not have any metal part to them, an O ring that has sort of a shape to surround two overlapping holes and a large nut. The NSN number is 2530-01-458-6907; Part number 2770718 and is described as Parts Kit, BOOSTER BRAKE. I don't know how the nitrogen would be installed in the cartridge or even if this kit even addressed that part of the booster.
