Servo/Brake problem...

[craigieeb]

I'v fitted the clio servo,

but when I came to slip in the clevis pin inside the car,
the holes in the 2 rods didnt meet up .....




now if you can see in the pic, There not quite "home"
I'v had to push/force the servo rod back by hand, about 20mm,

but when i took out the e30 servo, the 2 points met up niceley,

is this a problem?

or has this happened to all the clio servos that have been fitted?

iv put a spacer bit in the master cylinder and there was a little resistance, at about 5mm
before it was "flush"


Lee told me...

I think I adjusted the bar that goes from the pedal box and it moved the lever into the right location. Only a small adjustment needed and keep an eye on where the pedal ends up.

So now the nut behind the brake pedal is slack

but there is no movement at all on the nut on the passenger side?


Do i just need to stick a bit more force on the 17mm nut? or am i doing something wrong?

There is a nut at the end of the rod near the servo end, but it could be a left hand thread dude, you can defo loosen the locking nut at each end of the bar though.

I can't recall if I had to push the end of the servo clevis in slightly to get them to line up, which may have been the cause of why my brakes ended up sticking on.
