I have just replace the power steering pump. We drove the vehicle a few miles and lost both power steering and brakes again when we pressed the brake pedal.

    I have not worked on this type of system before. Please explain the hydro-boost system. I do have some mechanical training. Are you saying the hydro-booster could be bad?

    possibly...do you have a vacuum brake booster OR a metal one with a lot of pipes and fittings?
