Super Josh 4 Posted February 12, 2008 Guys After damaging my servo at the weekend whilst trying to adjust the pushrod. I'm now trying to remove it, so that I can try and repair/adjust it. How do I get it out with the Mi in situ? I've removed the 4 nuts holding it to the pedal box and the vacuum hose but there isn't enough space to be able to wiggle it up past the engine. What's the technique? Cheers, Josh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hengti 2 Posted February 12, 2008 would there be enough room if you disconnected the top engine mount and pulled the engine forward? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Super Josh 4 Posted February 13, 2008 would there be enough room if you disconnected the top engine mount and pulled the engine forward? Yeah possibly. Just trying to see if anyone has any nuggets of advice before I start moving things in a random fashion Seems a lot of effort to go to. I'm only trying to remove the pushrod so that I can adjust it. Matt seemed to remove his by just pulling at it, mine was a little more stubborn and just distorted the retaining clip. Now that the servo is loose and I can sit it at a better angle. I might see if I can get something in there to release the retaining clip. How have others removed the retaining clip? Are their any tips or tricks to share?

Alan_M 66 1 Cars Posted February 13, 2008 I did'nt think it was possible to remove with the engine in situ. I thought my servo was making odd noises and required changing so I looked into it. I don't think you seperate the servo unit from the pedals, and they come out in complete section AFAIK. The pedals come out through the engine bay, and was a bastard to do with no engine in when I built my 205 all those years ago. Given that you also have an Mi in there on a std inlet manifold, the amount of room you will have to play with will be limited. I would've had about 5mm to play with on mine.

Rob Thomson 6 Posted February 13, 2008 I once fitted a servo to my 309 with the Mi16 in place. I think the bulkheads are in the same place relevant to the engine in the 205 and 309 so this should be relevent. The only way I could do it was to strap the servo's push-rod (the one that goes to the pedal) in its fully depressed position with some beefy cable ties. Once in place these were snipped. It was VERY tight but just do-able. To remove a servo I guess you could find some way to strap the push-rod with the servo in-situ, which is going to be difficult...
