And onto the Brake booster/servo.
I think they all look like this, shite....
I have given it a good scrub down
I was going to take it off and undid the two nuts top and bottom behind the pedal, they were tough but not as bad as folk said it loosened then with horror I saw the two other bolts top right and top left. Christ there is no way I am reaching them so I have just put the nuts back on the 2 I did and scrubbed it in situ.
At least I get some use out of my POR15 as I wont be using it on my chassis now
Onto my steering column,
I have had new boots sat on the shelf for a while.
Quite a bit shorter than the originals and are very tight when at full lock, but hope they should be ok.
The others were still sealed but I don't think they had much left in them.
Judging by the colour of the oil, dirt was getting in somewhere.
Everything looks good, nice and tight no play
Jobs a good un
Once done on the other side (just need to cut a head onto the clamp), I will refill from the middle section with 0.3 of a pint of gear oil 90w.
