servo servicing

[Dean Moriarty]

My car has a aftermarket Lockheed servo that the previous owner fitted.
Following on from a mix up over DOT 4 and DOT 5, I've had to take the hydraulics apart and am currently replacing seals and full cylinders where required. The brakes were pretty poor before hand and I'm using the opportunity to do a thourough job of rebuilding.

Anyway, I removed the servo from the car today as it will also be contaminated and I want to service it along with everything else. This is really the only part of the braking system that I know nothing about. Has anyone else serviced one of these and if so how do I go about it?

Cheers

Just throw it over a hedge - you don't need a servo with drum brakes - if they are working correctly.....!

Not really answering his question is it

I've ordered the repair kit from a local servo specialist.
Once I'd stripped it down it appeared to be no more complicated that a brake master cylinder, ( with a relief valve).
I'll report back on results when reassembled.
