I did a search but nothing was specific enough.

78 240D

I have never had to diagnose brake problems--mostly just replace pads, bleed and flush etc. so I need some help so I don't run down the wrong path and spend $$$ unnecessarily.

The passenger front caliper on the 240D seized so I replaced it with a rebuilt caliper along with new pads in both calipers, rotors turned, flushed and bled system yada yada. Immediately I noticed the pedal feel was not as crisp as before. After driving it for a while (ie when the car warms up a little), the pedal will now go to the floor with little brake power.

I figured it was the booster loosing vacuum so I checked that. As far as I can tell there's no problem with the vacuum up to the booster, so I figured the booster was shot. Sound correct? is there a rebuilt kit or are there rebuilt boosters out there?

I seem to remember, though, that if your booster goes (ie vac leak) you should retain the same pedal travel but it will be much harder to push.

your thoughts appreciated.
