7Remove the clip from the hydraulic unit
pushrod on the brake pedal.
8With an assistant supporting the hydraulic
unit, unscrew the four nuts which secure the
unit to the bulkhead (see illustration).
Withdraw the unit from under the bonnet.
9Recover the gasket fitted between the unit
and the bulkhead.
10Drain the fluid from the reservoir. Do not
actuate the pushrod with the unit removed.
11Dismantling of the hydraulic unit should
be limited to the operations described in the
following Sections (see illustration).
Refitting
12Refitting is a reversal of removal, bearing
in mind the following points.13Do not refill the fluid reservoir until
reassembly and refitting is complete.
14Use a new gasket between the hydraulic
unit and the bulkhead.
15Ensure that the hydraulic pipes are
reconnected to the correct unions.
16On completion, bleed the complete
hydraulic system and check for leaks around
all disturbed components.
Note: A new O-ring must be used between
the accumulator and the hydraulic unit on
refitting.
Removal
1Disconnect the battery negative lead.
2Depressurise the hydraulic system by
pumping the brake pedal at least 20 times, or
until it becomes hard.
3Wrap a clean rag round the base of the
accumulator to catch any spilt fluid.
4Unscrew the accumulator using a hexagon
key. Remove the accumulator, noting the
sealing ring and being prepared for fluid
spillage (see illustration). If fluid isaccidentally spilt on the paintwork, wash off
immediately with cold water.
Refitting
5Fit a new O-ring to the base of the
accumulator, fit the accumulator and tighten
it.
6Reconnect the battery. Switch on the
ignition and check that the hydraulic unit
pump stops within 60 seconds; if not, the
accumulator is likely to be faulty.
7On completion, bleed the complete
hydraulic system and check for leaks around
all disturbed components.
Note: New sealing washers must be used on
the high pressure fluid hose banjo union, and
a new O-ring must be used between the
accumulator and the hydraulic unit on refitting.
Removal
1Remove the accumulator.
2Prepare a suitable container to catch spilt
fluid, and disconnect the high pressure fluid
hose from the pump.
3Remove the securing spring clip and
disconnect the low pressure fluid hose from
the pump. Allow the fluid to drain out of the
hose into the container. If fluid is accidentally
spilt on the paintwork, wash off immediately
with cold water.
4Disconnect the multi-plugs from the
pressure switch and the pump motor.
5Remove the pump mounting bolt (see
illustration).
6Pull the pump and motor assembly off the
mounting spigot and remove it.
7Recover the mounting bushes and renew
them if necessary.
8If a new pump is to be fitted, transfer the
pressure switch to it, using a new O-ring.
