I was trying to point out that hydro-vacs are a wet booster. subject to the corrosion of contaminated dot 3 fluid. Hardly anyone flushes the system every year.
Have you ever had a wheel cylinder apart and seen the aluminum pistons so corroded that you couldn't remove them with a hammer and punch? I have, same problem exists here.
If metal is too far gone the part needs machining and sleeving that is more labor and parts costly than a replacement.
You sent yours off to be rebuilt. Did you open it up and see the condition personally? Perhaps they replaced (oh my!)the front aluminum housing with a new one.
I ain't cheeta! Cheers
