While an assistant slightly depresses the brake pedal, watch for fluid to erupt in the reservoir
when the pedal is depressed 3/8” to 1/2”. This indicates correct push rod length. On dual
system master cylinder, fluid may spurt only from the front reservoir.
3. If the pedal travels more than 1/2” before master cylinder fluid erupts, the push rod is too
short. If nothing happens no matter how far the pedal is depressed, the push rod is probably
too long.
4. To adjust the push rod length, first remove the master cylinder from the power booster. Using
a pair of pliers, turn the push rod adjusting not in to shorten and out to lengthen the push rod.
I'm not convinced your brakes are dragging this time of year with the summer heat your brakes are going to put off a lot of heat dragging or not . If I disregard your other comments I'd say your booster is bad . Until you do what we're asking you to do so we can try to help you were just pissing in the wind .
i check brakes on all cars by driving 2-3 miles to cool off,no brakes, pull off where i can coast to a stop,with no brakes. get out and check all4. mine are COLD, no drag at all.
also stop on a slight grade,shift to neutral. you should drift RIGHT NOW, no drag.
