TESTING BRAKE SERVO DIApHRAGM
5.6.1.1.
Remove vacuum supply line from brake servo fitting. Attach the vacuum tester to vacuum supply port on servo (fig.13). Operate pump
to create approximately 15inHg of vacuum and wait for 30 seconds. No vacuum drop should be observed on the gauge reading. If
the vacuum drops this indicates that the brake servo diaphragm is faulty. In this case the servo should be removed for overhaul by an
authorised repairer or replaced.
5.6.2.
BRAKE BLEEDING - ASSEMBLY OF BRAKE BLEEDER KIT
5.6.2.1.
Ensure that the vacuum pump is connected to the brake bleeder reservoir in accordance with the assembly diagram (fig.14). Failure to do
so will result in brake fluid being drawn into the vacuum pump.
