Re: Treadle vac disassembly snag

Thanks for the information.
This unit looks to have leaked some into the vacuum section, but not a large amount. There was a puddle of gunk almost two inches wide and an inch front to back, rusty underneath.

The piston shaft looks quite good actually but I have a new one that I'll use. The relief passage was packed solid with crystalized fluid.

Still cleaning things up but will start reassembling soon.

What I'm not looking forward to is trying to hook the brake lines back up during installation. They were difficult enough just to disconnect but I expect starting those threads is going to be a pita. Very difficult to reach and is virtually blind.
