   You say you re-torqued the nut behind the wheel?

   ----------------------------   
      
   The good part is while looking for the problem I checked conditions and   
   cleaned up and sprayed   
   overlooked corrosion. Both of my vehicles are becoming old enough to attract   
   the attention of car buffs. Both have drivetrains reputed to last 300,000   
   miles but New England road salt rust usually kills well before that.   
      
   PB Blaster unstuck the light alloy master cylinder from the steel vacuum   
   booster. The factory shop manual gives plans to machine a gauge to check or   
   set booster pushrod protrusion, if you have a machine shop handy. I do but   
   instead of milling the gauge I used a parallel. That isn't the only special   
   tool they expect you to make. I snagged the engine tool kit at an auction.   
      
   A neighbor is restoring a 71 Chevy from worse condition than my truck.
