1965/6 Midland Ross vacuum power booster
Was torn apart earlier for inspection and my first words were, Yuck!! There was at least a pint brake fluid in there.
Bellows and rear hub with the tail stock
The rear hub is removable by this C clip
Breakdown Schematic
Even though the rubber softened up good, still a lot of bad parts

separating the rear push rod from the tail stock is not easy. Be extremely careful that you don't break the bakelite tall stock

The pushrod is coupled to the plunger by two Teflon rings. One on the push rod and one in the plunger. Penetrating fluid helped great deal.

Over 20 hours of research to figure out how to separate those two. In the end, I found nothing absolutely nothing. So educated guess!!

New parts have been ordered. They set me back nearly $300, but so worth it.
