The pulley seal replacement is finally done! I got the welded up part back on.
When I drove to the dealership for the free coffee and donuts on Saturday it was real obvious the power assisted brakes were not assisting at all. I would have a right leg twice the size of my left leg if I had to drive the 911 much like that. So "just one more little thing!" to fix. I had to move the compressor out of the way and I figured I had knocked a vacuum line off during that. Nope.
So I started looking around where the brake booster line is connected. It is routed up over the torsion bar, up on top of the transmission, then up next to the AC hoses into the engine compartment. Fortunately all of those spots were fine.
Hiding behind the connections for the speed and RPM sensors is the connection. Evidently the moron mechanic that last touched it failed to tighten the hose clamp. It was just held in place with friction. When the engine was lowered a couple of inches that was enough to pop it off of the nipple.
So shove it back on and tighten the clamp, and presto changeo the brakes work as designed. Next time I look in the mirror I will be sure to cuss out that idiot mechanic. One thing fer sure, I am not gonna pay him a dime for the repair. What a bonehead move.
