How can i know what type of hydrovac is used on my '44 gmc cckw 353 and also is it difficult to rebuild it , do I need special tools for it, does it have to be pressure tested? before using it and is it true that you may only use mineral brake oil and not the silicone ones because it can affect the working of your hydrovac ? and where can i find replacement parts for it?
thanks
tom
