MK3 Servo

[Deleted]

How do you get a mk3 servo out of the engine bay without smashing the whole thing to pieces with a large hammer out of frustration?

carb is off... several pipes are all off and out of the way, but its a toss up between the transmition dip stick and the bolt plate that the servo was connected to.

anyone?

Remove manifold

You used to have two hopes but one died.

I'd rather unbolt the chasis and roll the whole engine out.

Anyone else??

Quite easy to remove manifold only about 16 nuts - 1/4 hour but you will need a new gasket

I dunno... maybe i'm just pissed off cos its raining and i have more blood on the outside of my hands than on the inside of my hands (curse those sadistic engine bay designers).

Maybe i should have another butchers when the sun comes out to play tomorrow.

I've removed the servo by unbolting the engine mountings and jacking the engine over towards the nearside with a bottle jack, to give room for removal. Make sure the load on the manifold is spread with a block of wood otherwise you'll need a new manifold; but at least there will be room to take the servo out if you have to replace the manifold!
