SupraStormRising Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Hi Guys, have had issues with my brakes thought it was master cylinder believe it to be the brake booster now as the push rod is sticking...! Now i have removed the air line and master cylinder off of the booster, undone all the bolts on the bulkhead and disconnected the push rod from the pedal and the booster just won't budge?? There appears to be a bracket on the top right thread that goes to the steering column but the resistance seems to be coming from the other side any ideas?

SupraStormRising Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 I got a spare booster thanx just getting the old one off is a bugger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 It's not just stuck on the water sealing gasket, to the bulkhead, is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStormRising Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 Don't think so will check, it is as if somthing is still holding it in place even though all 4 bolts are off. When pulling on it to remove it the resistance is on the right handside of the booster! Driving me mad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Can you get hold of the exploded parts diagram for this region, they often give a clue as to what else could be holding it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStormRising Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 I have exploded diagrams for all of the brake system appart from the booster area! doesn't helps that you can't see behind the bloomin thing either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Have you tried getting angry with it? Careful use of a pry bar may show if it's just stuck, or actually held fast. I have removed one, but it was years ago, and I wouldn't like to say 100% nothing else retains it, but i don't think there was anything odd about the set up.

Well the bracket which is impossible to remove has another bolt behind it attached to the servo! I had the whole dash out and still couldn't get to it!!!

D8MOA Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 undo the 4 14mm bolts, drop the steering coloum and you will see the 12mm bolt that holds that bracket on, then theres another 12mm nut holding the servo on still.... bit late but..... ive removed 2 in the last week so it can be done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean by dropping the steering column using the tilt or releasing the whole column? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
