loss of brake fluid typ 89

[Ado Sigal]

-Providing the spare m/c is good, you should only 
need new gasket/seal between m/c and servo. -Since 
the b/fluid was leaking from the back of m/c, some 
fluid probably entered servo unit, make sure you 
collect it.
-Also make sure that the length of m/c input rod is 
same as on the old m/c. This can be adjusted with 
the screw on the servo shaft. Its very important 
that this measurement/adjustment is correct.
-To make the job easier, screw in all the pipe 
connections before tightening the m/c. Protect 
underneath with bin bag and paper towels, and clean 
any spills with water.
-Follow with standard bleeding procedure and you're 
done.

HTH, regards,

Ado
