brake servo replacement

[chubby]

hi there was just wondering if anyone had a mini guide on how to replace the old one with a new one as never touched a servo before but willing to give it a go if not to complicated cheers

Never done one on a Surf, but a generic process would be:

Remove the O/S lower dash (assuming RHD)
Disconnect the push rod from the brake pedal
Remove the master cylinder
Remove the old servo
Fit new servo
Re-fit master cylinder
Re-connect brake push rod
Bleed brakes
Wash hands
Re-fit lower dash

Job done.

I'd suggest bleeding up the new master cylinder before (Re-fit master cylinder)

I was going on the assumption that the old MC was being used and that he'd block the outlets to stop the fluid leaking, but yes, pre-bleed the MC if it's being replaced.

well stormforce is sending me up servo and master intact so the seal isnt broken between the 2 if that makes any difference
