WITHOUT BETTER INFO ON YOUR RIG...LIKE NOMENCLATURE AND ENGINE SIZE, I CANNOT LOOK UP STUFF LIKE WHAT YOUR MASTER CYLINDER LOOKS LIKE.

IF YOURS LOOKS ANYTHING LIKE MINE IN MY JEEP (SEE 1ST PIC)....YES, IF YOU LEAVE THE TOP OFF AND ACTUATE THE BRAKE PEDAL, BRAKE JUICE WILL BOIL ALL OVER THE PLACE. THIS IS JUICE BEING SQUIRTED FROM THE HOLES IN THE BOTTOM OF THE RESERVOIRS.

I IMAGINE WITH THE BOOSTER WORKING (CAR ON) IT WILL BE EVEN WORSE SINCE THE PEDAL IS MUCH EZier TO PUSH.

A TRADITIONAL MASTER CYLINDER IS NOT CONNECTED TO A TRADITIONAL BRAKE BOOSTER AS FAR AS "SHARING FLUID". THE BOOSTER JUST ASSISTS IN PUSHING THE PISTON INSIDE THE MASTER CYLINDER

HERE'S WHAT I WOULD DO...BEFORE I WENT MUCH FURTHER

IN THIS LINK....EVEN THOUGH THIS IS NOT EXACTLY YOUR SYSTEM

NOTICE HOW HE GETS THE SHOES CLOSE TO THE DRUMS...NOT DRAGGING (A "SCUFF" HERE AND THERE IS OK) FINER ADJUSTMENTS MIGHT BE MADE ACCESSING THE ADJUSTMENT HOLE IN THE BACKSIDE OF THE BRAKE BACKING....THERE ARE MORE VIDEOS SHOWING THIS TECHNIQUE...JUST GOTTA LOOK!

AFTER THIS---DO WHAT I DESCRIBED IN THE LINK I SENT PREVIOUSLY...HERE IT IS AGAIN

http://www.2carpros.com/questions/1999-ford-f-150-brakes--3

IF THE MASTER CYLINDER HAS BEEN "DRY" (NO FLUID IN IT)---THE BENCH BLEED IS NEEDED...AS IN THE VIDEO. NAPA AUTO PARTS SHOULD HAVE THE ADAPTERS AND HOSES TO DO THIS

ARE YOU ATTACKING THE BLEEDING..."MY WAY"????

IF THIS AIN'T GETTING IT

NEXT THING I'D TRY IS TO REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER

SAME THING--INSTALL IT, HAVE YOUR BUDDY SLOWLY PUMP THE PEDAL WHILE YOU OPERATE THE HOSES....ONCE THE AIR IS OUT, CONNECT THE STEEL LINES BACK ON AND BEGIN YOUR BLEEDING FARTHERMOST WHEEL OUT, WORKING YOUR WAY TO THE CLOSEST ONE TO THE MASTER CYLINDER

I WOULD GO AHEAD AND SHOW YOU THIS WITH THE MASTER CYLINDER YOU REQUIRE...BUT I NEED MORE INFO TO SELECT IT.....I DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH RE-MANUFACTURED PARTS. SOMETIMES THE REMAN HAS A BETTER WARRANTY!

I MYSELF JUST DONE THIS AGAIN TODAY...OUR SPARE CAR, A '95 DODGE NEON, NEEDED A BATTERY TOO....I SELECTED THE "SILVER" FOR $100.99 AND USED "FABU" AGAIN....KNOCKED OFF $40 ONCE AGAIN!
