1999 Astro Van brake booster (hydro-boost) flushing and bleeding

This video shows how I flushed the power brake/power steering system after replacing the power boost unit (hydro-boost). This does not show how to replace the hydro-boost unit, because there are multiple videos that show how to do that. I did not want to contaminate the new hydro-boost unit with the dirty fluid in the system. The procedure used accomplishes that goal.

Thank you for the Bible verses. It was encouraging. And thanks for sharing you experience here.

I have the same car, when i hold the brake and turn the steering wheel the car vibrates and the battery level starts to drop and the car shuts off. Is this a hydro booster problem?

[@diywithdave3186]

With mine there was oil everywhere under the hood. I didn't have the specific issue you describe. The driver in our situation lost braking assist and power steering at the same time, all of a sudden.

Thx for video.. great info.

Thanks for the comment.

I thought to bleed the power steering and hydroboost you needed a vacuum pump pull the air out of the system

[@diywithdave3186]

That would make it easier, but the method I used works if you don't have a vacuum pump.
