gsi servo fitting

[doug_sri]

Just bought a gsi brake servo from someone on here for my sr, is this a fairly easy thing to fit or is there any problems which other folk have come accross. I can do most things when it comes to mechanics and have a haynes manual but im offshore till tuesday so cant have a look

yer iv got one to go on aswell mate, it looks easy, all you need to do is take your dash shelf out to gain access to about 3 bolts then in the bay it should just pull off.

BUT i had trouble undoing the brake lines from it, so im now armed with a blowtourch and some mole grips.

dont need to change the master cylinder, can keep the one you got, and just swap servo's

so no need to take brake lines off

[SRlew]

ah how you go about that then, as i think i tried doing that but somthing was stopping it i think.

You just need to undo the 2 nuts that hold the master cylinder to Servo and pull it out. Then undo the 4 nuts hold the servo to the mounting bracket and the take the pin out behind the dash

Refitting is the reversal of removal.
If you are using the GSi master cylinder, you will need to remove the brake lines from the old mc & obviously refill & bleed when reconnected.

all master cylinders are the same, no point changing them unless yours is ****ed

And if you try and change it no doubt the brake pipe connections will be rusty as f**k and round off. Lol

I will just be using the original master cylinder, sounds easy enough.
