western Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 replaced my 110's servo a while back, fairly straight forward job, should be able to unbolt master cylinder from servo & move clear without touching the pipework, unbolt servo from pedal housing & pedal lever under dash then extract from engine bay.

cackshifter Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Yes as Ralph said, it's very easy, just 2 M8 nuts and the vacuum pipe, you can access the end of the pedal through the 2 holes under the big grommets in the sides of the pedal box to disconnect from the pedal. Just be careful to replace or at least preserve the O ring between the master cylinder & the servo. You should get one with a new servo or master cylinder.

tweetyduck Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I did mine a few weeks ago. Its really easy. The bugger was getting the split pin off the pin in the plunger. Other than that its a 30min job to fit and a simple one person bleed with a Gunnison Easy bleed and a jam jar. However i note you can do it without needing a bleed.

JST Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 if you fit a disco servo you get a greater res so better for heavy repeated use - ie offroading an auto for example. (you need to make some new mounting holes for the m/c though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
