Brake Servo replacement

Kes · Post by **Kes** » Sat Aug 23, 2014 11:18 am

Hi all, wonder if anyone can tell me whether replacing the brake servo on my S2 roadster is a fairly straightforward job, or do I need to remove all the stuff around it to get the old one out/new one in? It seems to be pretty tight in there and the surrounding engine frame means there's not much space to work.
Thanks.

It is straightforward but it has to be removed downwards and so the lower shields have to be removed

Wow! that's straightforward - even I can manage that. Perhaps I should have asked this first but the brakes have been binding; after releasing my foot from the brake, they're sluggish to free up again - it's uncannily like the assisted hill start on my Honda Civic! Advice I've had so far seems to point to a faulty servo - do you agree?
Thanks for the quick and helpful reply by the way!

I would check the small piston behind the reaction valve on the master. Remove and clean then reassemble with plenty of rubber grease.

Ok thanks for the tip - I'll get that done before moving on to the servo.
