Sorry - next one!
The brakes feel a bit solid and I'm wondering if the servo is working. Is it possible to change the servo without disconnecting hydraulics. I can bleed brakes but if I can avoid it...
Thanks

Re: Brake Servo Change
In a word yes. Ive answered in more detail on the other forum you have asked the question on.
Re: Brake Servo Change
THanks for that, there is a bit of a confusion of forums.

Re: Brake Servo Change
Yes, definitely possible to do this - the master cylinder bolts to the servo, and the actuator rod from the pedal passes through the centre of the servo that needs disconnecting. The servo then bolts to the bulkhead via a bracket with four threaded bars. Thus, the hydraulic components are all separate from the mechanical side and vacuum assist.
Are you sure its the servo at fault and not a sticking caliper piston?
