| Post subject: | Brake Booster / Master Cylinder help |
Hi Zookers... Starting to get things back together on the vitara and sprucing things up as i go along. I pretty much pulled out everything that can be from the engine bay and given it a good coat of Satin Black... Looking Pretty Schmick... The Brake Booster looks pretty average so I pulled it out for a good clean up and lick of paint. A few questions... Can someone tell me how to separate the Master Cylinder from the booster. I sort of expected it to come apart with a gentle nudge once all undone but its stuck on there good and proper. Perhaps theres something else i have to undo. Also when I turned the booster over a feral oily liquid poured out the Vacuum Line ... I thought that the Booster was a Sealed Dry Unit?!? Is there supposed to be something in there or has it been contaminated? Cheers Bretski |

To the best of my knowledge, once you remove the two nuts, the master cylinder should just pull off the booster, and the booster is or should be a dry sealed unit. |

As above.... Undo the retaining nuts and the master "should" just pull off the booster but corrosion on the studs will often hold it firm. If you aren't in a hurry give it a good soak in wd40/crc/possum piss and try again later OR wiggle it harder. |

Well I upgraded to a bigger hammer and gave it a bit more persuasion. It took more than a wiggle a wedge driven under the edge and finally I persuaded the master cylinder to part from the booster. Still not sure why there was fluid of some feral description in the booster. I suspect that a previous owner had a major engine issue at some stage and managed to get fuel and water into the bacuum lines. I drained it and gave it a good clean up just waiting for the new master cylinder to arrive and time to reassemble. |
