help / pointers on removing 172 cup brake master cylinder?

[icebergclio]

as per title, it just a case of removing the 2 bolts holding the cylinder to the servo or does the whole servo have to come out? if the servo has to come out any pointers on that would be appriciated cheers

 

[icebergclio]

no one?

No need to do the servo to remove the MS.

Fiddly fucker with the engine in though.

 

[icebergclio]

cool so it should just pull out when the 2 bolts are released?

 

[Budgie]

It's nuts you'll be undoing.

2 hold the vac pipe bracket on, then two hold the MS to the servo under those.
Once those are off, and your reservoir and lines are disconnected, it's as simple as wiggling it out.

Worth noting that you'll need clip to bleed it i believe. Real pig of a job.

 

[icebergclio]

shouldnt need clip if its a cup should i? its non abs?

 

[Budgie]

Ah, if it's a cup setup then nope, you'll be alright.

Eezebleed pressure bleeder is worth it's weight in gold there still!
