Spent a lot of time behind the wheel of my 250 this
weekend, and took it
to its first show (with us, anyway).
Congratulations.
1. I had to do some heavy braking on the way to the
show thanks to
being cut off by an aggressive driver. As I'm breaking,
I all of a
sudden hear the unmistakable sound of hissing air, and
now hear it
whenever any pressure is put on the pedal, and effort
has increased
moderately. So, it looks like I've killed the seals on
the vacuum in
the servo. Here's my question -- how difficult is it to
remove the
servo and replace it?
Your symptoms are consistent with what I had when mine went bad.
Just an unbolt/bolt process. The hard part is that four of the nuts are
in the footwell. And you have to disconnect the clevis pin on the
pedal. Unbolt the master cylinder and move it forward enough to clear
the studs on the booster and then remove the booster.
On the other hand, check the master cylinder. The most frequent
cause of a failed booster is brake fluid leaking from the master
cylinder into the booster. check the master for leakage and
rebuild/replace if necessary.
