Re: Brake Booster hard pedal

Could be they didn't change the pedal ratio if they swapped from drum brakes.
You need 4.5 to 1 for power. Drum is set up with 6 to 1.
Normally you drill a hole in the brake pedal arm about 1 to 1 1/2 inches lower then the existing one.
Another thing could be the pushrod isn't set right. When you push the pedal watch the rod to see if it makes immediate contact movement of the diaphram.

One more!!
When you bled the rear did you push in and hold in the reset button behind the rubber cap on the prop valve.
