100% agree Bob. Our Daks did it at almost the same time as well, but you
are exactly right. There is a precisely set adjuster on the booster that
has come loose on your booster and is backing out, thus taking up your pedal
so the pistons cannot back off fully. The booster has failed and will have
to be replaced. My guess is that you even have fluid forced into the
booster from the master cylinder and this is a very bad thing. Sorry, I was
not around much yesterday or I would have chimed in Bob.

Hey, Brian...
<> Brake booster would affect both brakes equally.<.
You would think so, but, NOT! I'm still willing to bet that's Ned's
problem...Both Rascal's Dak & my had passenger side caliper problems & the
brake booster was the culprit in both instances...Not an easy change out,
but with lots of extensions any garage mechanic can do it...Just gotta bench
bleed the master cylinder when the booster's installed...Rascal will back me
up on this one, if he ever picks up on this thread...
