How do you clean and lube them?

It has had some sloshy brakes for awhile now, when id be at a light waiting for it to change the pedel would like drop under my foot even further to the floor then where i was holding it tight.

Now im realizing that when i hold the brake i can hear a hissing sound from behind the steering wheel. Is that meaning i need a new booster?

Exactly. Clean and dry everything. Emery cloth or wire wheel on pin if it has any built up corrosion

Is it pretty simple to fix? Is there an upgrade? I prefer to buy parts new, any suggestions on where to get the best

You can upgrade to a WJ Booster and master cylinder. That'd GREATLY improve your stopping power.

You'll have a knot on your head from hitting the windshield when stopping.
