Rear brake servos

Post by Wibblyp »

Any tips on how to get the circlips on the backs of the rear servos. No ramp, just axle stands. Tried for an hour but no joy, just frustration. Seen a tool at mini spares which at £13 delivered is a temptation.

I never used any tool to put them on. I know they can be difficult but usually manage to squeeze them over, down from the top, as far as I remember I think I only use a big flat head screwdriver to lever them down, maybe some "water pump pliers" I think the name is.

Bought the tool. Just had to grind the chamfer flat on the back of the new servo as this prevented the spring clip sliding on. I was doing the job on the ground and could've get anything to work. The tool was great.
