Packaging
-
Do not ship your vacuum booster loose in a box.
-
Use packaging paper or equivalent materials to wrap and protect the booster from damage.
-
Make sure the brake booster is securely surrounded by the packaging material to prevent shifting or movement.
Protection for specific components
-
Pay special attention to protecting the tail stock bakelite material and the brake pedal rod.
-
Ensure they are secured and cannot be bent or broken during shipping.
Corner protection
-
Insert cardboard panels vertically in the corners of the box, positioned higher than the booster.
-
This prevents the rods from poking through the box during transit.
Shipping form and box sealing
-
Enclose the shipping form, which you can download here.
-
Make sure to securely tape the box to seal its contents.
Box reinforcement
-
Reinforce the bottom of the box with additional cardboard.
-
This prevents the brake servo from attempting to break through the bottom of the box.
Note: If the tailstock is received broken or chipped, it will need to be replaced, which may require a replacement core.
​
If you have an original OEM check valve and you want to keep it, remove it before sending the booster in. We will be installing a new aftermarket check valve. The unit will be tested using the new valve.
​
In cases where these tailstocks are no longer manufactured, a replacement core may be necessary. If PBBE supplies a used or remanufactured part, there will be a minimum additional cost of $70.
