Finally took the knee bolster out...

Well, after closer inspection tonight about that brake pedal noise I've come up with the following conclusion. Noise is definitely a rubber squeeking which leads me to believe that it's a rubber component/seal of some sort. Using a stethoscope I isolated the noise to the connection from the brake booster to the master cylinder which leads to one of two scenarios (I think). Brake fluid leaking from the master cylinder causing the seals to expand in the brake booster which in turn will cause the squeeking. Or the leak is simply in the brake booster itself. My guess is that it's brake booster. Either way, the parts and "Pain in the arse" factor are both pretty darn high for the job. Imagine what a little squeeking could be the cause for ..

Anyway, just wondering what some others think about that analysis.

Keep me posted...
