brakes and hydroboost?

I had to replace my hydroboost recently. Since then I can't stop the brakes from locking up. I can get a few miles, but that's it. I really don't want ot pull the hydroboost, get another, and try again.

What should I try first? I have bled the brakes too many times.

TIA

Take a look at this YouTube vid and see if you covered everything when you did yours. Watch to the end for bleeding the air out of the system as you might be air-locked somehow:

I'm thinking that the flex hoses on the front brakes are bad. Only the front brakes lock up, and this is a very common problem. I could only get one tonight (Small town living), with the other one on Friday.

Should be fun for a day or two.

I ended up replacing the entire front brake system. Everything but the hard lines. And replaced the hyrdoboost with an expensive one. It all worked.

Thanks for asking!
