If the pushrod is too long, the master cylinder can't fully retract, and the brakes will drag. Got break fluid on it and its coming off. Pedal pushrod length should be adjusted so there is no pressure on the master cylinder when brake pedal is at full up position, and there's only a small amount of play before the pushrod engages the master cylinder. Im sure theres wrenches you can use so you dont have to use the pliers to hold the wrench, but I didnt feel like buying it. Then take the socket and turn the pin to the left to adjust out, right to adjust in(atleast mine was like that). Now Slide the 8mm socket on to the pin like in the pic below, and hold on to it with your pliers. Needlenose pliers, or something along those lines. Now my pedal feels and acts pretty much like stock!Ĩmm wrench ( I cut down a cheap chinese wrench i had) If you arent happy re-adust and test again. Then I took it on the service road behind my house thats always empty and did a few different mph brake tests to make sure the brakes werent locking up to easily, etc. After I did all this, I test drove it up and down my street to see if the pedal was good(and it was). Then backed it off some until It wasnt making contact and then backed it off a tad more. Basicly untill i had to push on the master cylinder to make it go all the way on the booster. They way I adjusted mine was I adjusted the pin out and kept sliding the master cylinder on till I could feel the pin making contact.
