Re: standard brake booster or Hydroboost?
I've heard it's easy to tell when a Bronco owner has just completed a hydroboost install. He's the guy who shows up to a trail ride with a broken nose and a split lip after underestimating the stopping power.

Re: standard brake booster or Hydroboost?
Bleeding the power steering is a hot topic on ClassicBroncos.com right now. Lift the front and turn the steering wheel stop to stop about 50 times, holding it at the stops for a second each time and changing the throttle as you do it. Push the brakes occasionally as well. Then put the front back down and do another 20.
At least that's what all the posts say.
Also, don't let it run low or it will foam which requires a full 24 hours to subside.
