brake booster replacement?

this week I have felt a noticeable difference in pedal pressure on the 85.I checked the inline vaccum filter for fuel smell and found very little.Even though I am pushing 38lbs .I checked the mfg. date on the unit and it was installed 10 month of 85. Great qualitiy for American workersI guess that old i would need some vacuummin' tooanyone know someone who rebuilds these or is it just time to sent it on it's way?

forgot to mention that if the filter smells of fuel it will cause the diapham to fail. that's why check the filter. High fuel pressure or crappy egr valve will cause this too.Remember...blow by gasess invade the plenum.

I don't know anyone rebuilding them but I would say don't cheap out get a brand name one. Recently 88Z51 and I replaced his and not two months later it cracked and he needs to replace it again. Not a job you want to do more than once.
