Removing Brake Servo

[AD Ent]

I jut need to seal the bulkhead underneath the servo /booster and I can't get to it cos it's in the way. How hard is it to remove? I've had a look at the workshop manual but can't tell if it's a pig to do or a few bolts and split pin.

It's a doddle, as long as you're good at bending a bit :sly Just get under the steering wheel area and take out the R clip and 4 nuts, bish bosh :thumb2
You'll have enough slop in the brake pipes to carefully tease the assembled servo out the way enough. Be prepared though as I reckon there must be rot there for it to be leaking so much
Good luck

Oh great:thumbs. I'll have a go at it later if it stays dry

DONE IT!!! Well I think I have. Just need it to dry properly and wait for some rain.... :splif

Hmmm, mine had been plated quite badly on the inner wing there, plate was seam welded from underneath, probably to save moving the servo.

When I had the front apart, that area still sounded solid when whacked with a hammer so I simply added a ton of seam sealer over the old inner wing to stop water settling there. Brake servo may be slightly held by seam sealer now too! Nice to know how to get it out to do a better job next time.

Same as mine. The inner wing under the servo has been repaired as the rot had set in over however long. This let water into the footwell which had eventually rusted through and could make its own way out. Now the footwel is solid the water had nowhere to go. So i'm hoping I've done enough with the sealer. Seam sealer would have been better but I just needed to stop the leak. I've put plenty on and it's not a pretty sight.
I didn't take the servo out completely but it slid out of the bolt holes enough and I wedged in place to get the gun nozzle in. Couldn't get it all with the gun so applied some to my fingers and reached down.
