Stripping/rebuilding A Brake Servo

[cRaig 273 1 Cars]

Hi there,

 

Ive removed my pedal box, and seperated all the brake parts into their components, and would like to strip down/rebuild the servo, as I have a rebuild kit from peugeot. It would also make cleaning/painting much easier!

 

Does anyone have any experience in stripping down a brake servo, as I cant quite work out what to do!

Which end do I start stripping it down, and what do I remove?

 

Does it split in two on the pressing marks of the two halves, or is that just a red herring?!

 

Thanks in advance (any pics would be good!? )

Don't think the servo itself should be split otherwise nor sure it would be seal properly again. Exploded view of all the parts that can be disassembled

You can buy them new still, not cheap at around £170.00 .

But I have had them blasted and wet painted which looks OK providing there's no rust on there

Yeah, they do seem pretty pricey for what they are, considering a rebuild kit is around 20 quid or so.

 

I shall have another look at stripping it down, I guess everything must come out from one end or the other!

there is an exploded view in haynes, can't remember if it details rebuilding though, sure someone on here has done it but i'd imagine most just get an used replacement as theyre easy to find (got a spare here as it happens!..)

Mm, the haynes manual simpy states replacement rather than repair/rebuild. Guess the exploded service box image is all I have to go on for now..

 

Cheers

Anyone shed any light on this at all?

 

Ive been staring at the servo a while and still cant make any sense of stipping it down.

 

Did a bit of googling, and this link suggests rotating the two parts to gain access to the inside. I know thats for an old rusty triumph, but I was wondering if it may be standard procedure?

 

Maybe I should get a spare servo to practice on lol

Anyone shed some light on this topic yet?

 

As im trying to do mine to! but i havent actually stared at it, its just sat there doing nothing..

 

Debating if i should rebuild or buy new?
