i am just about to blow my truck up i had a power steering leak so i replaced my hydroboost and after i got it installed and bleed the steering lines i no longer have pressure to my break peddle it just goes to the floor and stays i have no resistance or nothing what did i do wrong and how can i get my breaks back also since i put on the new hydroboost my break lights dont work maybe someone can help me a little please and thanks

 

Did you replace the brake switch when you changed out HB unit. I wasn't able to reuse mine and was Major PIA to remove.I had to cycle the pump quite a bit to prime the pump and get air out of HB. Then the front lines around the HB control box leaked which were PIA to make and install. The leaks were barely noticable. If you end up changing those lines save the nuts from the box as they don't sell them at MCParts store. Not saying this is your problem, just what happened to me when I recently went through this. Hope this helps.

 

how long did you cycle your pump i was out in my shop for about an hour moving the steering from stop to stop

 

It probably took 15 to twenty cycles stop to stop to get the steering, then when I used the brakes, they were soft cause the new HB found the weak spots in the lines. After that was taken care of, I ended up changing out the MC as the brakes were still lame.The leaks in the lines were small in the fact that it didn't spray everywhere.

 

well i found out why i didnt have a brake peddle cause i forgot to take my push rod and spring out of my old unit not i have brakes now i just cant get my steering to smooth out could it be because my power steering pump is burnt up or what could i do to maybe do some troubleshooting to get the steering to be smoother
