If you step on the pedals and they are as hard as a rock, STOP, and
start rebuilding the cylinders and the system. If the pedals move then you
can bleed them or just let the old fluid drain out by opening the bleeder
valves. If the fluid is black that means it has absorbed water and is
useless, it also means most or all of the seals are probably bad and
everything need to be rebuilt. As I stated before I would leave the
booster alone, flush some new brake fluid through it and hope for the best
right now.
You can not use a standard brake hone on aluminum cylinders. Aluminum
cylinders need to have an almost mirror finish inside to work correctly.
If any of the cylinders are pitted inside they need to be replaced; the
other fix for this is to have the cylinders sleeved which requires a machine
shop.

Subject: Re: Brake Booster(servo)
ok well does anyone think that the booster is bad, or needs a rebuild after
sitting? And i thought i shouldnt press the clutch or brake pedal until i
rebuild them. something about it wrecking the masters? I dont remember for
sure
what soemone said. So i havent touched those pedals, or done anything with
the brakes or clutch. All this time(about 1 1/2 months)i have been getting
to
the point where i can start the engine.
