Hello, I've changed my brake booster and master cylinder because I had to pump my brakes to stop. But now my brakes or sticking because of the pushrod is preloading the master cylinder, I've loosened the master cylinder just a little bit once I did the brakes released and I'm able to drive, but after a while my brakes seems to get tight until I start to drive. Is there any way I can adjust my pushrod on my brake booster without the adjustment nut?

There is a clevis adjuster at the brake pedal I would adjust inward to give the brake pedal a little slack here is the location. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
