Reactionary linkage seizing

[Richard Farrant]

Hi Keith,
I am not familiar with this booster, but did wonder if you noticed the pedal being tight when you initially pushed it down? If not then it could be a vacuum valve is not releasing, I have had that happen on other boosters/servos and that will hold the pedal down until the vacuum has dissapated.

Just a thought

I thought it may have been the booster so the first thing I did was to completely take the booster out of the equation which is a simple matter of removing the clevis pin and swinging it down out of the way, so it became just a mechanical fault with the bits the pedal actuates.

Thanks Keith,
it was just a thought as similar had occured with me on a Bedford, but it was the valve out of adjustment, but that required removing the booster to deal with it.

I am aware of how awkward it is to access, so not an easy task. Best of luck with it.

Keith can 2482 be removed while the system renaines bolted to the truck? It sounds like dried crud in the bush of 2514.

The whole assembly needs to come out - theoretically the master cylinder can remain connected but probably a lot less awkward to take it out too.
