Got a late start today but was over at the shop until after 8:40 PM with disassembling the parts car's Bendix Treadlevac for rebuilding. I was surprised to find some liquid brake fluid in it even if it was on the wrong side of the seal! On the other side was wet gunk that looked like tar.
Things started to get messy as I allowed myself only a small corner of the bench that I generally use for parts sorting to do this work so tomorrow I need to put all the small pieces onto a safe place before they get lost. I hadn't worked on one of these since I rebuilt the one on my 1953 Patrician but it started in better condition than this one. I have it all apart except for the shaft which does not seem to want to budge in spite removing the clip.
The master isn't really as bad as it looks in these photos so we'll see how it cleans up but I am planning on replacing it anyway. Also, the booster parts aren't as bad as they look either.
Ross' excellent how-to document was very handy in refreshing my memory.
