Lockheed Servo

(1.1 MiB) Downloaded 646 times

I had a problem with my Europa S2 I bought as part completed project that had a Lockheed fitted horizontally and was giving problems bleeding my system. Also make sure you remove the air valve (bullet shaped ) and red rubber grease it)

Good luck

that's excellent......I thought it was too vertical.....my last +2 had it in the orientation specified.....this one isn't and the brakes just feel a little sticky....despite having stripped them down and checked them......
will play with the mounting bracket
thanks

Sounds like the little air valve Gareth - my brakes were sticking, can be sometimes tricky to prise out, I just used the pedal to pump it out into a bag, clean and rubber grease it.

cheers

I think I'll try to rotate the servo first....
currently its at 90deg to the ground and the valve rather than being at 5 o'clock (assuming the end elevation as a clock face)...mine is at 12 o'clock
I hope gravity may help....
cheers

I agree with greasing the piston in the servo, but be careful not to pinch the rubber diaphragm when you reassemble. (Don't ask why I know that...)

Lockheed replacement servo at sjsportscars is worth 146 pounds. I looked at the picture and it seems like a complete package...

I looked into your thread with the dissasembly / cleaning / assembly procedure... well well , I know how clumsy I can be and I think I'd better spare some sweat, tears, and some horrible names/words by purchasing a new one....

Sad there is not a small hole where a simple drop of oil could solve the problem without taking everything apart....

I will replace mine for sure

think I may just get the spec of Johns spring....
