Hi liam.......not come across the term "booster" before, but guessing its like a servo, yes I am realy that old :\......a couple of tricks
Ive used before, the first one helped out a foccer on here recently..."back bleeding"...using a pump action oil can.fill with brake fluid and pump the fluid up via the caliper bleed nipple to the master cylinder, pushing any air upwards.the way it wants to go, having isaac on your side here
...its never failed for me
second one, and I dont know why this works but it does....hold the pedal down over night using a length of timber against the pedal, must be all the way down....used this method on my thou this week, bled the system untill all air pumped through but when I tried the lever, nothing, went straight back to the bar....so pumped the lever several times and used a cable tie to hold it against the bar, left it over night and hey presto....perfect brakes :lol
Your gripe about posters not posting the outcome bugs me aswell.....think were all pretty good on here though....so get back out there and give it a go....second one is easy......and dont forget to tell us how you get on :lol
