[Healeys] brake servo dismantling evaluation

[goldengt at cal.net]

I think there is too much corrosion to warrant trying to use the bores as is. I don't think that a servo is so precious that I should save it by sleeving, so it is available for parts.Ken Freese65 BJ8

 body {height: 100%; color:#000000; font-size:12pt; font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;}I drilled and tapped a 10-32 hole in the plug, made a little puller and got the plug out. I did not have a flat bottom tap, but .200 deep on the hole drill point gave enough threads.Ken Freese

I have been saving an old BJ8 servo to rebuild for many years. I have gotten the main bore seals out and it looks ok, but I cannot not get the control valve piston plug out of the body to get access to the control valve seals. The instructions say use some stiff wire to push it out, but it isn't budging. Should I just assume this is an indicator of sufficient corrosion to scrap the whole unit?Ken Freese65 BJ8
