rebuilding brake servo

[derek]

woke up this morning to find no brake pressure at all, I opened the hood and the servo unit was leaking out of the bottom.


What parts should I purchase to rebuild the servo , or would it be better to purchase an entire new servo


Any recommendations are welcome.

Are you sure that it's not the master leaking down across the servo?

You can rebuild the master, but, replace the servo. They have a nasty dangerous spring in there.

IMHO, FWIW....

There's no fluid in the servo. Don't go in there unless you know what you're doing. If you see fluid between the servo and the master, it's the master that's leaking.

That is exactly what happened to me at the Winter Romp a few years back. The only thing a bad servo should leak is air. Brake fluid means your master cylinder is kaput.
