Re:: [Chrysler300] A serious 55 Kelsey Hayes issue - brake failure

["Ron Waters" <ronbo97@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Did Chrysler put out a Technical Service Bulletin on reconditioning the 
master cylinder/power brake unit ? I went through the Master Tech booklets 
for '55, but there is nothing regarding this topic. I would think that it 
would be somewhere. Is it in the shop manual ?
