You say you re-torqued the nut behind the wheel?

----------------------------

The good part is while looking for the problem I checked conditions and 
cleaned up and sprayed
overlooked corrosion. Both of my vehicles are becoming old enough to attract 
the attention of car buffs. Both have drivetrains reputed to last 300,000 
miles but New England road salt rust usually kills well before that.

PB Blaster unstuck the light alloy master cylinder from the steel vacuum 
booster. The factory shop manual gives plans to machine a gauge to check or 
set booster pushrod protrusion, if you have a machine shop handy. I do but 
instead of milling the gauge I used a parallel. That isn't the only special 
tool they expect you to make. I snagged the engine tool kit at an auction.

A neighbor is restoring a 71 Chevy from worse condition than my truck.
