Hydro Boost rebuild, have you done one?

I have power steering fluid dripping out of my hydro booster for my brakes. I bought a kit but the company didn't send any instructions. I will buy a Haynes tomorrow, but wondered if anyone had experience rebuilding one.

Haynes ain't gonna help. I have it and all it shows is how to R&R the unit. No disassembly. It does say that there's a part that has high-pressure gas in it, so don't grab it by the cannister.

The kit comes with a bunch of O rings a few metal parts and a recharged canister. I can't get the company to send instructions. The kit was $50.00 so I thought I'd give it a try.

Thanks. the link didn't come through on your post but with auto zone and hydroboost it took about 5 seconds to find. I'll attack this next week.
